^4He elastic scattering from carbon; Non-Rutherford cross-section

Sažetak
The differential cross-sections for elastic scattering of 4He ions by carbon atoms were measured at scattering angles of 30°, 45°, 60°, 135° and 150° in the energy range from 2 to 4.8 MeV. Up to now mostly data for angles larger than 150° were published in the literature. A thick carbon target with a thin evaporated Cu layer on the surface was used for the measurement. The number of impinging projectiles was obtained from the He ions scattered by the Cu layer assuming Rutherford cross-sections. The carbon scattering cross-sections were then obtained from comparison of measured He energy spectra with the simulated ones. Above 2 MeV all evaluated cross-sections become non-Rutherford. Deviations from Rutherford cross-sections are about 50% for 30° scattering angle and amount up to a factor 30 for 150° scattering angle. The measured experimental cross-sections were compared with the calculated theoretical cross-sections and already published data. Satisfactory agreement was obtained for all measured scattering angles and energies.
