An application of Rutherford scattering to target thickness measurements
Abstract
Alpha particles from a radioactive 241Am source have been scattered from thin foils and the count rate of scattered particles used to determine the foil thicknesses. The method is particularly suitable for targets of high atomic numbers which have been deposited on supporting foils of material with a low atomic number.
