Preferred Label : Rutherford backscattering;
Detailed label : Rutherford backscattering (RBS);
IUPAC acronym : BSS; RBS;
IUPAC definition : Any technique using high energy particles directed toward a sample, in which the bombarding
particles are detected and recorded as function of energy and/or angle. The technique
is mostly used for determining depth distributions of elements based on the energy
of the backscattered particle. In general, He sup class plus /sup or H sup class
plus /sup particles are used at energies in the order of 100 keV to some MeV. Also
referred to as backscattering spectrometry (BSS).;
