Rutherford's most groundbreaking work came when he conducted the famous gold-foil experiment in 1909. In collaboration with Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, he directed alpha particles at a thin ...

The Standard Model of Physics is ... performed their famous 'gold foil' experiment, in which ... Further experimentation by Rutherford in 1919–20 found that an alpha particle fired into ...

As part of an experiment with x-rays in 1909, Rutherford was shooting a beam of alpha particles (or alpha rays, emitted by the radioactive element radium) at a sheet of gold foil only 1/3000 of an ...

If that model were true, alpha particles would have passed through the foil in Rutherford's Coulomb experiments. But Rutherford and his colleagues observed that a few of the alpha particles ...

In 1909, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden performed the Geiger-Marsden experiment, also known as Rutherford gold foil experiment, under the direction of Rutherford.
