experimental methods for measuring the size of nuclei

[ykelvin]

Hello all.

I am trying to work through my problem sheets and I need some help from you guys.. I am trying to find out experimental methods to measure the size of the nuclei..

Thx so much

Rutherford scattering was the first experimental method to determine the size of a nucleus.
