Forward Recoil Spectrometry

Abstract

When a beam of positive ions, produced by a single-ended Van de Graaff accelerator, a tandem, or a cyclotron (typically in the energy range from 0.1–5 MeV/amu) hits the near-surface region of a solid target, most incident particles are elastically scattered by the target atoms. Only a small number of incident ions are able to induce nuclear reactions on isotopes of light elements contained in the target. Energy transferred from an incident ion to a target nucleus during their elastic collision can be large enough so that the target nucleus recoils from the target surface. This elastic recoil process is simply described using kinematic equations from the physics of elastic collision. Elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA*) consists in detecting recoiling nuclei to acquire information about the target composition.
