Answer:

Rutherford and coworkers were able to demonstrate that the alpha particle was an atom of helium (later to be determined to be a nucleus of helium), and that helium gas would accumulate or be entrapped in minerals that contained radium.

The initial discovery was made by Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden in 1909 when they performed the gold foil experiment in collaboration with Rutherford, in which they fired a beam of alpha particles (helium nuclei) at foils of gold leaf only a few atoms thick❤️❤️
