{{ping|Johnjbarton}} On that note, could you direct me to some papers by Thomson which contain his beta scattering studies? You mentioned several times that the plum pudding model lined up with Thomson's data on beta scattering, I want to look at that.

== Image is upside down ==
In the section "Deflection by the positive sphere", the image Thomson_model_alpha_particle_scattering_3.svg show a deflection away from the center correct for + on + scattering. However the Thomson's model was for beta particles, - on + and thus the deflection should be towards the center. This difference does not alter the model's predictions because every path on one side of the atom has a matching one on the other and they are added to compare to experiment.
