They used counters and other radiation detectors in experiments that led to the identification of the alpha particle as the nucleus of the helium atom and the correct proposition of Rutherford (1912) that, In any atom, the The nucleus occupies a very small volume in the center. . .
The Geiger-Marsden experiment (also known as the Rutherford gold foil experiment) was a series of landmark experiments through which scientists learned that every atom has a nucleus in which the entire charge is positive. and most of its energy is concentrated in mass.
For example, in 1910, Geiger and colleague J. M. Nuttall developed the Geiger-Nuttall rule, which states that there is a linear relationship between the logarithm of the alpha particle range and the radioactive time constant, related to the decay rate of alpha particles. corpuscle. emitter nucleus.
A Geiger counter is an electronic instrument used to detect and measure ionizing radiation. In 1908, Geiger successfully demonstrated the first individual alpha particle detector. Later versions of this counter were capable of counting beta particles and other ionizing radiation. The birth of the Geiger-Müller counter in July 1928 marked the birth of modern electrical equipment for radiation research.

Examples of usage:
To check the level of danger in the event of a nuclear accident or leak of radioactive coolant.
To check for radioactive contamination of clothing and shoes in your workplace.
To test for radioactive contamination of food.

At Manchester, Geiger built the first version of the particle counter and used it and other radiation detectors in experiments that led to the identification of the alpha particle as the nucleus of the helium atom.

Geiger and Marsden shot alpha particles (helium nuclei) at a thin sheet of gold. The gold foil is surrounded by a screen that causes flickering when alpha particles hit it.

Geiger served in the German Army during World War I as an artillery officer from 1914 to 1918.
Hans Geiger was apart of a position against Hitler.
