Abstract
The technique and application of high-energy backscattering (HEBS) is reviewed in this paper. The advantages and limitations of the techniqu e are discussed as well as the origins of the resonances in the cross sections which are fundamental for its application. Methods for determ ining the cross sections are presented including the fabrication of ta rgets for measuring th cross sections. Applications for both alpha and proton HEBS are presented.
