Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS)

Both H and He beams are supplied by the 1.7 MeV Tandem accelerator. A dedicated ion scattering chamber (the "941", see below) houses a 4-axis manipulator and two surface barrier detectors. Data acquisition is possible both in random and channelling geometries. Alignment is assisted by a computer-controlled software.
