==Details of calculating maximal nuclear size== For head on collisions between alpha particles and the nucleus, all the kinetic energy of the alpha particle is turned into potential energy and the particle is at rest. The distance from the centre of the alpha particle to the centre of the nucleus (b) at this point is a maximum value for the radius...

the scattering of an alpha particle through a large angle with respect to the original direction of motion of the particle, caused by an atom with most of the mass and all of the positive electric charge concentrated at a center or nucleus. Also called
