Rutherford Scattering
Product Code : JA-PLE-4278
The Rutherford Scattering apparatus (SKU JA-PLE-4278) is listed for atomic and nuclear physics teaching, where the scattering of alpha particles by a thin metal foil is used to show that an atom has a small, dense, positively charged nucleus. Students measure how the number of scattered particles changes with scattering angle and compare the result with Rutherford's formula. This Rutherford scattering apparatus is supplied to university and advanced college laboratories.

Uses of the Rutherford scattering apparatus
The experiment reproduces the observation that most alpha particles pass straight through a thin foil while a few are deflected through large angles, which is the evidence for the nuclear model of the atom.
- Measuring scattering rate against scattering angle
- Comparing results with the Rutherford scattering formula
- Demonstrating the nuclear model of the atom
- Atomic and nuclear physics practicals in B.Sc and M.Sc courses
- Research-led teaching in university physics departments
