Abstract
Differential cross-sections for proton inelastic scattering on fluorine, 19F(p,p’)19F, from the first five excited levels of 19F at 110, 197, 1346, 1459 and 1554keV were measured for beam energies from 3 to 7MeV at a scattering angle of 150° using a LiF thin target (50μg/cm2) evaporated on a self-supporting C thin film (30μg/cm2). Absolute differential cross-sections were calculated with a method not dependent on the absolute values of collected beam charge and detector solid angle. The validity of the measured inelastic scattering cross sections was then tested by successfully reproducing EBS spectra collected from a thick Teflon (CF2) target. As a practical application of these measured inelastic scattering cross sections in elastic backscattering spectroscopy (EBS), the feasibility of quantitative light element (C, N and O) analysis in aerosol particulate matter samples collected on Teflon by EBS measurements and spectra simulation is demonstrated.
