The Pauli exclusion principle predicts a forbidden zone along a meridian of the spherical halo of scattered particles, which the experiments indeed unveiled. The dark band in the graphic shows a rule derived from the principle in action. This rule is that indistinguishable fermions cannot scatter out at 90 degrees to the collision axis.
