Measurement of elastic backscattering differential cross sections for protons on natO in the energy range E= 4-6 MeV, suitable for EBS

Abstract

In this study we present the experimental cross sections of the natO(p,p0) elastic scattering, determined via the relative measurement technique, in the proton energy range Elab=4-6 MeV, at six backscattering detector angles between 120o and 170o, with a 10o step. The measurements were performed using the Van de Graaff Tandem 5.5 MV Accelerator of N.C.S.R. “Demokritos” in Athens, Greece and a high precision goniometer.
