Abstract
By a study of the deflection of a beam of CsI molecules in a homogeneous electric field an upper limit is established for the charge on a CsI molecule. This upper limit is 1.7× esu or 4× of the electronic charge, and implies that the magnitude of the electron-proton charge difference is less than 3× of the electronic charge or that the charge on a neutron is less than 2× of the electronic charge.
