Abstract
The B-11(p,alpha(0))Be-8 nuclear reaction and the B-11(p,p)B-11 backsc attering cross sections were measured at a laboratory scattering angle of 165 degrees in the energy range from 1700 to 2700 keV with an abso lute accuracy of about 7%. The cross section values were derived by us ing the simultaneously measured RES spectra of the protons backscatter ed from a thin gold layer. The measured cross section values are compa red with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and heavy ion elastic recoil detection analysis (HERDA) results of amorphous hydrogenated bo ron/carbon (a-B:C:H) layers. The cross section data are presented in g raphical and tabular form. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights r eserved.
