Why Rutherford had not used gamma rays instead of alpha rays inh his experiments?

Gamma ray is neutral. More over it is an electromagnetic radiation having high
penetration power. So scattering by the gold nuclei is not at all possible
=====================================
How about the fact that alpha rays are easy to produce, control, measure, and
protect against, whereas Rutherford had no convenient source of gamma rays,
no way to control them where he did find them, and was not much interested
in exposing himself to a shower of radiation more energetic than X-rays, even
in the interest of science.

Is B subtilis gamma hemolytic?
gamma/alpha hemolysis
Is alpha or gamma is more absorbed by matter?
Alpha particles have much less penetrating power than gamma rays.
Can ultrasound waves are alpha beta or gamma rays?
No, they are unrelated. Alpha and beta radiation are particle streams, not waves. And gamma rays are electromagnetic waves.
Why are alpha and gamma radiations used in americium 241?
The term "used" is not adequate. The radioactive decay of Am-241 is associated with the emission of alpha particles and gamma rays.
What radioactive emissions are not a particle Neutron Alpha Proton Beta Gamma Ray?
Gamma Ray
What is the contribution of ernest Rutherford to radiation?
Alpha, beta and gamma.
Who coined the terms alpha beta gamma ray?
ernest Rutherford is the answer....
What was Ernest Rutherford's biggest contribution to chemistry?
In 1911, Rutherford proposed a new model for the atom. His experiments were the first to show that the atom must consist of a very tiny positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons. (For the record, Rutherford also discovered and named alpha, beta and gamma radiation.)
Who discover alpha particles?
Ernest Rutherford and Paul Villard discovered alpha particles in the period 1899 to 1900, by classifying radiation into three types, alpha, beta, and gamma. Ernest Rutherford and Thomas Royds subsequently proved, in 1907, that alpha particles were helium ions.
When was Gamma Alpha created?
Alpha Gamma was created in 1867.
When was Alpha Beta Gamma created?
Alpha Beta Gamma was created in 1970.
What is Gamma Alpha's motto?
Gamma Alpha's motto is 'Γνωθι την 'Αληθειαν'.
When was Gamma Alpha Omega created?
Alpha Gamma Omega was created on 1927-02-25.
When was Alpha Delta Gamma created?
Alpha Delta Gamma was created on 1924-10-10.
What is Alpha Gamma Omega's motto?
The motto of Alpha Gamma Omega is 'Fraternity for Eternity.'.
When was Phi Alpha Gamma created?
Phi Alpha Gamma was created on 1894-03-25.
When was Alpha Gamma Rho created?
Alpha Gamma Rho was created on 1904-10-10.
