This document describes the use of the program SIMNRA and the physical concepts implemented therein. SIMNRA is a MicrosoftWindows program for the simulation of backor forward scattering spectra for ion beam analysis with MeV ions. SIMNRA is intended for the simulation of spectra with Rutherford scattering cross-sections (RBS), non-Rutherford cross-sections (EBS), nuclear reactions (NRA), elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) with light and heavy incident ions, and medium energy ion scattering (MEIS). SIMNRA can calculate spectra for any ion-target combination including incident heavy ions and any geometry including backscattering, forward scattering, and transmission geometries. Arbitrary multi-layered foils in front of the detector and arbitrary multi-layered windows (such as exit windows for an external beam) in front of the sample can be used. Several different stopping power data sets are available. Energy loss straggling is calculated including the corrections by Chu and Yang to Bohr’s theory, energy loss straggling propagation in thick layers is taken into account. Additionally the effects of multiple small-angle and plural large angle scattering can be calculated approximately as well as surface and substrate roughness. Many non-Rutherford and nuclear reaction cross-sections for incident protons, deuterons, 3He-, 4He-, 6Liand 7Li-ions are included. Data fitting (layer thicknesses, compositions etc.) is possible by means of the Simplex algorithm. OLE automation allows automated analysis of large numbers of spectra and the development of new applications. SIMNRA supports the IBA data format (IDF) for data storage and exchange of data between different simulation programs. SIMNRA is easy to use due to the graphical Microsoft Windows user interface: SIMNRA makes full use of the graphics capacities of Windows. SIMNRA shell extensions extend the abilities of Windows Explorer and Windows Search, thus allowing a seamless integration of SIMNRA into the Windows system.
