Measurement of the Range of Recoil Atoms

Abstract

A novel experimental technique has been applied to the problem of determining the ranges of atoms in the Kev region. The method used was similar to the stacked-foil technique commonly used in chargedparticle excitation- function studies. Ranges were determined for carbon (in polystyrene, CH), F (in Teflon, CF/sub 2/), Cl(in Saran, CHCl), and the metals Ti, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mo, Ag, and Au, in their respective metallic lattices. (T.B.A.)
