Large angle differential scattering cross-sections for various ions (2 ⩽ Z1 ⩽ 10) in the 65–135 keV energy range

This paper reports measured values of the differential scattering cross-section at a large scattering angle (θlab = 150°) for H, D, He, Li, B, C, N, and Ne in the energy range ∼65–135 keV. The results, obtained by backscattering the light mass particles (2 ⩽ Z1⩽10) from (∼1 nm) gold films in a UHV environment, are compared with current theoretical predictions as well as other recent cross-section investigations. A distinction is drawn between data obtained in the large scattering angle regime and other results acquired in the small angle regime.
