Revisiting the experiment that revealed the atomic nucleus
In short: Watch Henry Shackleton's final presentation for MIT's Experimental Physics I, where he demonstrates the mechanics of Rutherford scattering detection using gold foil.
Presented as part of the MIT 8.13-14 'Junior Lab' course in Spring 2017, this talk explores the experimental detection of Rutherford scattering. The presentation details the specific setup and methodology used to observe how particles interact with gold foil, a fundamental experiment in nuclear physics.
