A form of scattering named for this scientist was extended to study quarks with deep inelastic scattering. With Paul Villard, this scientist distinguished gamma rays by their penetrating power. This scientist supervised an experiment that measured scattering patterns on a fluorescent zinc sulfide screen. The Bohr model combined quantum theory with this scientist’s model of the atom; that model included a dense, positively-charged nucleus which this scientist discovered with Geiger and Marsden. For 10 points, name this scientist who conducted the gold foil experiment. ■END■
