A brief history of particle physics
... Geiger and Marsden reported in 1906 the measurements of how α particles (the nuclei of He atoms) were deflected by thin metal foils. They wrote “it seems surprising that some of the α particles, as the experiment shows, can be turned within a layer of 6×10−5 cm of gold through an angle of 90◦ , and ...

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.
