The Discovery of the Strong Interaction<br />

Rutherford’s experiment 1911:<br />

The positive charges in matter are<br />

located in a tiny nucleus, whose radius<br />

is ~ 10 –5 of the a<strong>to</strong>mic size.<br />

⇒ There must be a strong, short-ranged<br />

force <strong>to</strong> counteract the Coulomb repulsion<br />

Thomson’s a<strong>to</strong>m: Rutherford’s a<strong>to</strong>m:<br />
