30. We can quantitatively predict the peak energy of the slow shoulder in all spectra using Eq. (1) by assuming that the incident atom undergoes two hard sphere collisions, each with a deflection angle of 145°. The sum of these two backward-scattering deflection angles is equal to the experimental deflection angle of 70°.
