Ernest Rutherford (at right) and Hans Geiger, nuclear physicists, 1912. Rutherford and Geiger with their apparatus for counting alpha particles. Ernest Rutherford was a pioneering nuclear physicist who discovered the alpha, beta and gamma rays of radiation. In 1907, he began working with the German physicist Hans Wilhelm Geiger, extending his study of alpha particles. Together they worked on a radiation detector invented by and named after Geiger, and developed the scintillation screen for observing alpha particles. In 1908 Rutherford was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
