The '''Geiger–Marsden experiment''' was an experiment, that was carried out by [[Ernest Rutherford]] and his assistants [[Hans Geiger]] and [[Ernest Marsden]] at the [[University of Manchester]] between 1908 and 1913. A beam of [[Radioactivity#Alpha Decay|alpha particles]] was shot at a thin [[gold]] foil.<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/add_ocr_gateway/periodic_table/atomstrucrev6.shtml</ref>
The scientists made three observations:
*The biggest part of the alpha particles went undistracted through the gold foil.
*Some aplha particles were distracted
*'''Occasional some alpha particles were reflected.''' This observation led to the result, that the plum pudding model was replaced by the nuclear model of the atom.
