Abstract
We have modelized the double collision phenomenon in terms of successi ve Rutherford interactions. Particles resulting from a first collision inside the target are considered as a second incoming beam available for collisions with target atoms. This calculation has been applied to try to explain the background of elastic recoil spectra. Although the shape of the background is about right, its magnitude is an order of magnitude too low compared to the observed background. Plural and mult iple scattering might explain the discrepancies observed between exper imental results and this simulation.
