The beta asymmetry in neutron beta decay is used to determine the ratio of axial-vector coupling to vector coupling most precisely. In electron spectroscopy, backscattering of electrons from detectors can be a major source of systematic error. We present the determination of the correction for undetected backscattering for electron detection with the instrument PERKEO III. For the electron asymmetry, undetected backscattering leads to a fractional correction of $5times 10^{-4}$, i.e. a change by 40% of the total systematic uncertainty.

In order to perform quantitative tritium and helium analysis in thin film sample by using enhanced proton backscattering (EPBS), EPBS spectra for several samples consisting of non-RBS light elements (i.e., T, 4He, 12C, 16O, natSi), medium and heavy e lements have been measured and analyzed by using analytical SIMNRA and Monte Carlo-based CORTEO codes. The CORTEO code used in this paper is modified and some non-RBS cross sections of proton scattering from T, 4He, 12C, 14N, 16O and natSi elements taken from ENDF/B-VII.1 database and the calculations of SigmaCalc code are incorporated. All cross section data needed in CORTEO code over the entire proton incident energy-scattering angle plane are obtained by interpolation. It is quantitatively observed that the multiple and plural scattering effects have little impact on energy spectra for light elements like T, He, C, O and Si, and the RBS cross sections of light elements, instead of the non-RBS cross sections, can be used in SIMNRA code for dual scattering calculations for EPBS analysis. It is also observed that at the low energy part of energy spectrum the results given by CORTEO code are higher than the results of SIMNRA code and are in better agreement with the experimental data, especially when heavier elements exist in samples. For tritium analysis, the tritium depth distributions should not be simply adjusted to fit the experimental spectra when the multiple and plural scattering contributions are not completely accounted, or else inaccurate results may be obtained. For medium and heavy matrix elements, when full Monte Carlo RBS calculations are used in CORTEO code, the results from CORTEO code are in good agreement with the experimental results at the low energy part of energy spectra, at this moment quantitative tritium and helium analysis in thin film sample by using enhanced proton backscattering can be performed reliably.
A test of Geant4 simulation of electron backscattering recently published in this journal prompted further investigation into the causes of the observed behaviour. An interplay between features of geometry and physics algorithms implemented in Geant4 is found to significantly affect the accuracy of backscattering simulation in some physics configurations.
Stimulated Brillouin backscattering of light is shown to be drastically enhanced in electron-positron plasmas, in contrast to the suppression of stimulated Raman scattering. A generalized theory of three-wave coupling between electromagnetic and plas ma waves in two-species plasmas with arbitrary mass ratios, confirmed with a comprehensive set of particle-in-cell simulations, reveals violations of commonly-held assumptions about the behavior of electron-positron plasmas. Specifically, in the electron-positron limit three-wave parametric interaction between light and the plasma acoustic wave can occur, and the acoustic wave phase velocity differs from its usually assumed value.
Backscattering is a sensitive probe of the accuracy of electron scattering algorithms implemented in Monte Carlo codes. The capability of the Geant4 toolkit to describe realistically the fraction of electrons backscattered from a target volume is ext ensively and quantitatively evaluated in comparison with experimental data retrieved from the literature. The validation test covers the energy range between approximately 100 eV and 20 MeV, and concerns a wide set of target elements. Multiple and single electron scattering models implemented in Geant4, as well as preassembled selections of physics models distributed within Geant4, are analyzed with statistical methods. The evaluations concern Gean
Compton backscattering polarimetry provides a fast and accurate method to measure the polarization of an electron beam in a storage ring. Since the method is non-destructive, the polarization of the electron beam can be monitored during internal targ et experiments. For this reason, a Compton polarimeter has been constructed at NIKHEF to measure the polarization of the longitudinally polarized electrons which can be stored in the AmPS ring. The design and results of the polarimeter, the first Compton polarimeter to measure the polarization of a stored longitudinally polarized electron beam directly, are presented in this paper.
