You mean who found evidence for the existence of massive nuclear particles, which are NEUTRALLY charged, in 1934.

Explanation:

See the link. James Chadwick was the pupil of Rutherford, and later served on the Manhattan project. The discovery and demonstration of the neutron was a much greater experimental tour de force than the discovery of the electron or the nuclear proton. Why should this be so?
