Abstract

Chapter 10* does not present a detailed review of IBA instrumentation. The general equipment for IBA, in particular accelerators, analyzing magnets, focusing lenses, goniometers, detection devices, and related equipment are reviewed in detail in classic IBA handbooks(1,2) with abundant literature references and excellent recommendations for proper operation. Here we focus on equipment especially adapted to ERDA and topics that require more attention due to the particular requirements of ERDA. Our purpose is to give a sufficient extent of experimental details for any IBA user interested in performing elastic recoil measurements.
