[PAR] [TLE] Ernest Rutherford [SEP] Ernest Rutherford, 1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson, (30 August 1871 – 19 October 1937) was a New Zealand-born British physicist who came to be known as the father of nuclear physics. " Encyclopædia Britannica" considers him to be the greatest experimentalist since Michael Faraday (1791–1867). [PAR] [TLE] Geiger–Marsden experiment [SEP] 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.
