Inverse kinematics resonance scattering on thick target with EXCYT beams

The resonance scattering method in inverse kinematics on infinite target has been applied to two systems, 18O + alpha and 9Be + alpha, in order to test and to optimize an experimental apparatus in view of a set of resonance scattering experiments to be performed with 8Li and 9Li radioactive ion beams delivered by the facility EXCYT. The scattering excitation functions, deduced for the two systems, were compared with previous results reported in literature. Results show that reliable stopping power data are essential for the application of this technique.
