Could you be more specific?

timewhimey,

I suggest that you consider the difficulty and the expense of making a "working replica" of Rutherford's Experiment. It would be very difficult and very expensive. Here are two sites that describe the the Rutherford Experiment:

http://library.thinkquest.org/19662/low/eng/exp-rutherford.html

Here is an opportunity for one to control an interactive simulation of the Rutherford Experiment provided by the University of Colorado at Boulder:

Cheers,

edit: it's spelled "schematic"

i don't know why i said replica what i ment to say is i want to atempt at mimicing experiment myself as well as try other kinds of foil (led, tin, steel) to see which ones goe straight through (or reflect) more than others
