In 1909, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, under the direction of physicist Ernest Rutherford, bombarded a sheet of gold foil with alpha rays — by then known to be positively charged helium atoms — and discovered that a small percentage of these particles were deflected through much larger angles than was predicted using Thomson's proposal.

* 1877 – U. S. presidential election, 1876: Just two days before inauguration, the U. S. Congress declares Rutherford B. Hayes the winner of the election even though Samuel J. Tilden had won the popular vote on November 7, 1876.

" Hans Geiger expanded on this work in a communication to the Royal Society with experiments he and Rutherford had done passing α particles through air, aluminum foil and gold leaf.

Rutherford showed, using the method below, that the size of the nucleus was less than about 10 < sup >− 14 </ sup > m ( how much less than this size, Rutherford could not tell from this experiment alone ; see more below on this problem of lowest possible size ).

Rutherford realized this, and also realized that actual impact of the alphas on gold causing any force-deviation from that of the 1 / r coulomb potential would change the form of his scattering curve at high scattering angles ( the smallest impact parameters ) from a hyperbola to something else.
