             The alpha particles suffer negligible deflections when colliding with the electrons of
             the gold atoms but about 1 in 8000 are deflected through more than 90° by the gold
             nuclei.

and the scattering of these small particles is then observed. The information gained in
these scattering experiments can tell us about the structure of the targets, which are
often too small to be investigated in any other way.

Rutherford's team directed alpha-particles at gold foil and observed their deflections.
Summarise their observations, and state the conclusions Rutherford reached about the
structure of gold atoms.

To find a value for the diameter of a nucleus, high energy electrons can be used. The
Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) produces electrons with energy 190 Me V for this
purpose.

by using even higber energies. Usually these experiments (e.g. SLAC and CERN) are
international collaborations. Suggest two reasons why international collaborations are
necessary for experiments of this sort .

~   This question is about the use of electrons to probe the structure of protons.

    The diameter of a proton has been determined by recording the angular distribution of high speed
    electrons scattered from a hydrogen target, as shown in Fig. 11.1.

    When the de Brog/ie wavelength                        of the electrons is comparable         to the diameter of the protons,

             It consists of two semi-circular boxes called 'dees'. Hydrogen ions are injected near to the!
      centre. The alternating potential difference is to accelerate the ions across the gap between the
      'dees'. The ions are constrained to move in semi-circular paths when within the 'dees' by a
      magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of Fig. i, A charged pia te P finally extracts the high
      speed ions from the cyclotron.

~~., The following extract is taken from an article about the Continuous Electron Beam
 ,
~/
     Accelerator Facility (CEBA.F), which produces high-energy electrons for particle
     experiments.

      The sheer size of the magnets reflects a bizarre phenomenon at work within. CEBAF.
      At speeds close to the speed of light, Einstein's special theory of relativity predicts
      that objects appear to gain mass. The electrons in CEBAF move so fast that they act
      as if they have gained 8000 times their normal mass, making them far more reluctant
      to change course - hence the need for powerful magnets.

   The gain m mass of an electron is another way of saying that it has gained energy
   equivalent to 8000 electron masses. Calculate the voltage through which an electron has
   to be accelerated from rest to gain this energy .

  • 15. -15- Leave ") blank i ~~., The following extract is taken from an article about the Continuous Electron Beam , ~/ Accelerator Facility (CEBA.F), which produces high-energy electrons for particle experiments. The sheer size of the magnets reflects a bizarre phenomenon at work within. CEBAF. At speeds close to the speed of light, Einstein's special theory of relativity predicts that objects appear to gain mass. The electrons in CEBAF move so fast that they act as if they have gained 8000 times their normal mass, making them far more reluctant to change course - hence the need for powerful magnets. The gain m mass of an electron is another way of saying that it has gained energy equivalent to 8000 electron masses. Calculate the voltage through which an electron has to be accelerated from rest to gain this energy . ............ i~.E.. :7 ~~~ .. ~.~{-...<: ;:: ~ ..
