  1. Exercises 6.1-6.4
  2. Assume you are trying to use RBS with 2 MeV He ions to analyze the amount of InAs that has been deposited on GaAs. Your particle detector has a diameter of 5 mm and is positioned at a distance of 10 cm from the sample. The scattering angle is 150°. What fraction of the incident flux of He atoms will scatter off In and strike the detector?
