Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy(RBS) is an analytical technique used in materials science. Sometimes referred to as high-energy ion scattering(HEIS) spectroscopy, RBS is used to determine the structure and composition of materials by measuring the backscattering of a beam of high energy ions impinging on a sample. 3, record 1, English, - Rutherford%20backscattering%20spectrometry

Les faisceaux d'ions sont un des rares moyens de mesurer quantitativement (sans standard) la distribution en profondeur des éléments dans un matériaux. Ces techniques, regroupées sous le nom de microanalyse nucléaire, sont peu dommageables pour les matériaux. Au LAFI de l'INRS-Énergie et Matériaux nous disposons des techniques suivantes : la détection des reculs élastiques (ERD), la spectrométrie par rétrodiffusion Rutherford (RBS), l'émission de rayons-x induite par protons (PIXE) et les réactions nucléaires (RN et p, g). 2, record 1, French, - spectrom%C3%A9trie%20de%20r%C3%A9trodiffusion%20Rutherford
