This particle is the proton.
Rutherford imagined the atom to be a particle with a thickly concentrated positive nucleus and electrons moving around it.

The subatomic particle with a positive charge is the proton. It is located in the nucleus of an atom and has a charge of +1.
Ernest Rutherford is credited with discovering the positive charge of a nucleus through his famous gold foil experiment in 1909. This experiment showed that most of the mass and positive charge of an atom is concentrated in a small, dense nucleus at its center.

Rutherford hit nucleus with possitively charged alfa rays.They reflected from nucleus.
nucleus
a nucleus with a positive charge
Rutherford said the deflection of an alpha particle was like firing a bullet at tissue paper and having it bounce back. This analogy conveyed the unexpected result that particles were being deflected backwards, suggesting the presence of a concentrated positive charge in the atom's nucleus.
In the atomic nucleus the positive particle is the proton.
