The Geiger- Marsden (Rutherford) Experiment used

• beta particles

• alpha particles

• gamma rays

Particle accelerators

• can create new particles

• only break particles apart

A bubble chamber allows

• collisions between particles

• identification of particles

The particle zoo is -

• a storage vessel for particles
