Abstract
Cross section measurements are reported for the p(0) and p(1) proton g roups from the F-19(alpha, p)Ne-22 nuclear reaction in the energy rang e 2150-2520 keV at a reaction angle of 135 degrees, A narrow resonance at 2313 keV incident energy is shown to be useful in detecting and de pth profiling F-19 in thin films. Computer simulation is used to find F concentration profiles which are consistent with the measured reacti on yield curves. Calculations of the depth resolution of this resonanc e and that of the 340 keV resonance in the F-19(p, alpha gamma)O-16 re action are compared for a specific target. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B .V.
