RUMP program

Simulations for ion scattering techniques such as RBS are typically compared with actual spectra in order to characterize the surface features. There are many such algorithms for example (a) Kido, Y. Koshikawa, T. J. Appl. Phys. 1990, 67, 187. (b) Doolittle, L. R. Nucl. Instrum. Methods 1986, R15, 227 (RUMP program), (c) http //www.surrey.ac.uk/ati/ibc/research/ion beam analysis/ (d) http // www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/SCRlBA/ndf/publist.html (publications re RBS simulations), (e) http //www-iba. bo.imm.cnr.it/(a nice compilation of software for ion-beam analyses). 

In the RUMP code, ( Rutherford Universal Manipulation Program ) the sample is considered to be a stack of layers, each of uniform composition, and the code calculates an arbitrary density from their elemental composition. All the layers... 

Data Analysis. For both the macro- and micro-PIXE systems an on line display of the X-ray and RBS spectra is provided by an LSI 11/23, while detailed analysis of the RBS and PIXE spectra are performed using the programs RUMP (1L) and MENUGF (UL) The latter analyzes the 1024... 

It should be added, that several programs have been developed to simulate the ion beam energy spectra, and these can be divided into either analytical (SIMNRA, RUMP, NDF) or Monte-Carlo (TRIM.SP, SRIM, SDTrimSP, MCERD CORTEO) codes [138].
