Abstract:
1H(,p) 4He scattering cross-sections were determined for the 6.5–13 MeV (incident energy) range, thereby extending the energy range for such data beyond that available in the literature. These values are essential for the further development of hydrogen concentration profiling by the transmission elastic recoil detection technique, of particular interest in the design of surface-engineered hydrogen contamination barriers for steels.
