... Question: An alpha particle (charge 2e) is aimed directly at a gold nucleus (charge 79e). What minimum initial kinetic energy must the alpha particle have to approach within 5.0 x 10-14m of the center of the gold nucleus before reversing direction. (Assume that the heavy gold nucleus remains at rest ...

The Scattering of α and β Particles by Matter and
... Since the value of K is very large for an encounter of a β particle with an atom, the reduction of velocity on this formula is very small. Some very interesting cases of the theory arise in considering the changes of velocity and the distribution of scattered particles when the α particle encounters ...

Geiger–Marsden experiment
The Geiger–Marsden experiment(s) (also called the Rutherford gold foil experiment) were a landmark series of experiments by which scientists discovered that every atom contains a nucleus where its positive charge and most of its mass are concentrated. They deduced this by measuring how an alpha particle beam is scattered when it strikes a thin metal foil. The experiments were performed between 1908 and 1913 by Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden under the direction of Ernest Rutherford at the Physical Laboratories of the University of Manchester.
