One man of this surname won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in radioactivity and also coined the terms alpha and beta radiation. Another man attempted to use phlogiston theory to explain his isolation of nitrogen. After the former's most famous experiment, he theorized the existence of neutrons, which was later confirmed by Chadwick. For ten points, give the surname shared by these two men
