Ernst Rutherford conducted an experiment where he fired alpha particles at a thin gold foil. Most passed straight through but some were scattered back at wide angles. This was unexpected and led Rutherford to propose that atoms have a small, dense nucleus containing positive charge. Later, models showed this could explain the scattering if alpha particles passed close enough to the nucleus to be strongly repelled by its positive charge. This nuclear model revolutionized understanding of atomic structure.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Ernst Rutherford decided to probe
the atom using fast moving alpha
(α) particles.
He got his students Geiger and
Marsden to fire the
positively-charged α-particles at
very thin gold foil and observe how
they were scattered.
The diagram summarises his
results
3.
4. Most of the α-particles passed
straight through the foil, but to his
surprise a few were scattered
back towards the source.
Rutherford said that this was
rather like firing a gun at tissue
paper and finding that some
bullets bounce back towards you!
5. Probing matter
Rutherford soon realised that the
positive charge in the atom must
be highly concentrated to repel
the positive a-particles in this
way.
The diagram shows a simple
analogy:
6.
7. The ball is rolled towards the hill
and represents the a-particle.
The steeper the `hill' the more
highly concentrated the charge.
The closer the approach of the
steel ball to the hill, the greater
its angle of deflection.
TOK
8. • In 1911 Rutherford described his
nuclear model of the atom. He
said that:
• All of an atom's positive charge
and most of its mass is
concentrated in a tiny core.
• Rutherford called this the
nucleus.
• The electrons surround the
nucleus, but they are at relatively
large distances from it.
• The atom is mainly empty space!
10. Can we use this model to explain the
α-particle scattering?
The concentrated positive charge
produces an electric field which is
very strong close to the nucleus.
The closer the path of the α-particle to
the nucleus, the greater the
electrostatic repulsion and the greater
the deflection.
TOK
11. Most α-particles are hardly
deflected because they are far
away from the nucleus and the
field is too weak to repel them
much.
The electrons do not deflect the
α-particles because the effect of
their negative charge is spread
thinly throughout the atom.
12.
13. Using this model Rutherford
calculated that the diameter of the
gold nucleus could not be larger than
10-14 m.
This diagram is not to scale. With a 1
mm diameter nucleus the diameter of
the atom would have to be 10 000 mm
or 10 m!
15. What makes a particle “elementary” ?
A particle is
elementary if it has
no inner structure
(i.e not “made” of
some even smaller
entities).
16. Which particles were considered
elementary throughout History?
1911 : Rutherford discovers the nucleus.
Transmutation reactions showed that the
hydrogen nucleus played a specific role (4
2He +
14
7N --> 18
9F --> 17
8O + 1
1p) . Rutherford named it
proton (protos = first)
1932 : Chadwick discovers the neutron, which
is not stable when isolated, and decays as
follows : n p + e- (+ ¯νe) . The proton, electron
and neutron account for all the atoms of all the
elements in the Universe.
17. This was the “simplest” elementary
particle set ever described. A small
number of particles, a small number of
interactions.
LEPTON (leptos = light) : e-
BARYONS (baryos = heavy) : p , n
18. However, some problems were already
present.
1. The photon : Photoelectric effect ;
Compton scattering.
2. Antiparticles : Discovery of the
positron by Anderson (1932), studying
cosmic rays. Many more particles
would be discovered in cosmic rays…
19. 3. Mesons : These particles were first postulated
by Yukawa (1935) to explain the force that binds
the nucleus together. Being of intermediate
masses, they were called mesons (mesos =
middle).
4. Neutrinos : Necessary to preserve E
conservation in β decay
From the particle garden to the jungle :
In 1937, Anderson discovered the muon μ. The μ proved to
be some sort of heavier electron (lepton).
The muon decays into through β
decay:
μ νμ + e- +¯νe
Who ordered THAT ?
I.I Rabi, Nobel 1944
20. In 1947, pions (mesons) were detected in cosmic
rays. They were thought of as Yukawa’s mediator
particle for the strong interaction. The Universe
was in order again, except for the muon, which
played no visible role.
In December 1947, new mesons were found : the
kaons. The place got crowded again…
With the use of particle accelerators in the 50’s,
many new particles were discovered. Some of
them were « strange » because they were
produced by the strong force but decayed through
the weak force.
21. Moreover, some rules seemed to be missing to predict if a
decay could occur or not :
Why is π- + p+ K+ + Σ- possible ,
When π- + p+ K0 + n is impossible ?
In 1953, Gell-Mann and Nishijima came with a simple and
elegant idea. Each particle was to be assigned a
«strangeness », and the overall strangeness had to be
conserved during a collision (not through decay).
There were then THREE laws of conservations for reactions :
Charge
Baryonic number (proton like particles)
Strangeness
31. Conservation Law – use
of…
What must be conserved in a
reaction or decay?
• Mass/Energy
• Momentum
• Charge
• Baryon number
• Lepton number
• Strangeness
• colour
32. n p + e + ν
p + ν n + e
p + π - p + π0
p + p p + p + π0
36. Drawing Feynman
Diagrams
Each vertex has an arrow going in and
one going out.
These represent a lepton – lepton or
quark-quark transition.
Quarks or leptons are solid straight lines
Exchange particles are either wavy
(Photons, W, Z) or curly (gluons).
Time usually flows from left to right.
37. Drawing Feynman
Diagrams
Arrows from left to right represent
particles moving forward in time.
Arrows from right to left represent
antiparticles moving forward in time.
(think of them as moving left to right).
Vertices are linked by a line representing
an exchange particle
Charge and colour are conserved at each
vertex.
38. What is happening here?
Now you try to construct:
• Beta decay
• Proton-electron interaction
39. Confinement
Quarks CANNOT be found alone.
This is known as the “quakr
confinement” – that is quarks
cannot be observed in isolation.
41. The Higgs boson is a sub-atomic
particle that acts as the
intermediary between the Higgs
field and other particles. All fields
are mediated by bosons, some of
which pop into and out of
existence depending on the state
of the field, sort of like how rain
drops emerge out of a cloud when
it reaches a certain point.
42. Finding the Higgs boson
confirmed that the Higgs field
exists, and that field enables
mass to be explained
