	Ernest Rutherford - Biography
		Ernest Rutherford was born on August 30, 1871, in Nelson, New Zealand, the fourth child and second son in a family of seven sons and five daughters.
		Rutherford returned to England in 1907 to become Langworthy Professor of Physics in the University of Manchester, succeeding Sir Arthur Schuster, and in 1919 he accepted an invitation to succeed Sir Joseph Thomson as Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge.
		At Manchester, Rutherford continued his research on the properties of the radium emanation and of the alpha rays and, in conjunction with H. Geiger, a method of detecting a single alpha particle and counting the number emitted from radium was devised.

		Ernest Rutherford was born at Spring Grove in rural Nelson on August 30, 1871, the second son and fourth child of 12 born to James and Martha Rutherford.

	Biography / New Zealand / Lord Ernest Rutherford of Nelson
		Ernest Rutherford was born in Brightwater, near Nelson, New Zealand, in 1871, the fourth child and second son of 12 children, to James Rutherford, a mechanic, wheelwright, engineer, flax-miller and farmer and his wife, Martha Thompson, a school teacher before her marriage.
		Ernest's early education, gained at school, from his family and from exploring the local farms and countryside with his siblings, awakened his interest in science and the keen skills of observation that are essential for all scientific minds.
		Appropriately, Ernest's first recorded illicit experiment was a canon constructed from the brass tube of a hat-peg with a marble for a ball and a dose of gunpowder to ignite the device.

		Ernest Rutherford was the brilliant New Zealand physicist who explained natural radioactivity, determined the structure of the atom, and changed one element into another (nitrogen to oxygen) by splitting an atom's nucleus.
		Rutherford was an energetic pioneer in nuclear physics: he discovered (and named) alpha and beta radiation, named the nucleus and proton and won the 1908 Nobel prize in chemistry for explaining radioactivity as the disintegration of atoms.
		Rutherford's description of an atomic structure with orbital electrons became the accepted model (with further help provided by his student and colleague, Niels Bohr), and in 1920 he predicted the existence of the neutron, which was later discovered by James Chadwick.

	Rutherford Scattering
		Rutherford himself remarked at the ceremony that he "had dealt with many different transformations with various time-periods, but the quickest he had met was his own transformation from a physicist to a chemist".
		Rutherford's 1906 discovery that his pet particles were slightly deflected on passing through atoms came about when he was finding their charge to mass ratio, by measuring the deflection in a magnetic field.
		Rutherford correctly deduced that in the large angle scattering, which corresponded to closer approach to the nucleus, the alpha was actually hitting the nucleus.

	ERNEST RUTHERFORD
		Ernest Rutherford was born of a Scottish father and an English mother in Nelson, New Zealand, in 1871.
		Rutherford had the wit to formulate a hypothesis to fit the unexpected effect; a hypothesis which developed directly out of and extended the ideas he had already introduced to explain natural radioactivity.
		Rutherford's experiments and his interpretation of the anomalous effects as the disintegration of complex atomic structures by collision with projectiles depend on his general acceptance of Thomson's interpretation of the phenomena of gas discharge.

		Ernest Rutherford was born on August 30, 1871, in Spring Grove (now in Brightwater), New Zealand, near Nelson.
		Under Rutherford's directorship, Nobel Prizes were awarded to James Chadwick for discovering the neutron, Cockcroft and Walton for splitting the atom using a particle accelerator and Appleton for demonstrating the existence of the ionosphere.
		Knighted in 1914, Rutherford was raised to the peerage as the first Baron Rutherford of Nelson in 1931-a barony that ceased to exist after his death.

		Rutherford was made Baron specifically of a place in New Zealand, but at that time he would still have been a member of the peerage of the United Kingdom not of some New Zealand peerage.
		Rutherford, the great deviser of experiments, and his close friend Nils Bohr, the theoretician, were together responsible for the image of the atom that we still have - the cluster of protons and neutrons forming the nucleus, and the surrounding cloud of electrons.
		Rutherford took up a physics professorship at McGill in 1898, worked with Soddy and in 1902-3 identified radioactive half-life, moved to Manchester in 1907 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1908 for his work on radioactivity.

	Ernest Rutherford: The Splitting of the Atom and Discovery of the Proton
		As was usual with Rutherford's experiments, the apparatus was simple to the point of being crude: a small glass tube inside a sealed brass box fitted at one end with a zinc-sulphide scintillation screen.
		This led to the famously downbeat sentence in the fourth part of Rutherford's paper: 'From the results so far obtained it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the long-range atoms arising from collision of alpha particles with nitrogen are not nitrogen atoms but probably atoms of hydrogen...
		Rutherford's experiment convinced him that the nitrogen nucleus was composed of hydrogen nuclei; the hydrogen nucleus, therefore, must be an elementary particle.

		Rutherford, Ernest (1871-1937): Born in New Zealand, Rutherford studied under J. Thomson at the Cavendish Laboratory in England.
		Rutherford was the first to establish the theory of the nuclear atom and to carry out a transmutation reaction (1919) (formation of hydrogen and and oxygen isotope by bombardment of nitrogen with alpha particles).
		Ernest Rutherford also discovered the half-life of radioactive elements and applied this to studies of age determination of rocks by measuring the decay period of radium to lead-206.

		Ernest Rutherford was born in 1871 in New Zealand and was one of twelve children.
		In 1907, Rutherford taught at the University of Manchester and began studying radiation with Hans Geiger.
		In later years, Rutherford produced the disintegration of a non-radioactive atom and extracted a single particle with a positive charge, which he called a "proton." This experiment made him the first human to create a nuclear reaction.

		Biographies of Ernest Rutherford are studded with superlatives: "founder of nuclear physics"; "certainly the greatest scientist to emerge from New Zealand"; "a remarkable team leader"; and "one of the greatest experimentalists of all time.
		Rutherford and Thomson were able to demonstrate that X-rays cause air molecules to break apart into equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles (ions).
		Rutherford interpreted these results to mean that the positive charge in gold atoms in the sheet was concentrated in a very small volume, about 10-5 the size of the atom itself.

	NS&T : History : Hall of Fame : Ernest Rutherford
		Ernest Rutherford is considered the father of nuclear physics.
		Indeed, it could be said that Rutherford invented the very language to describe the theoretical concepts of the atom and the phenomenon of radioactivity.
		The exponential equation used to calculate the decay of radioactive substances was first employed for that purpose by Rutherford and he was the first to elucidate the related concepts of the half-life and decay constant.
