Summary:The technique and application of high-energy backscattering (HEBS) is reviewed in this paper. The advantages and limitations of the technique are discussed as well as the origins of the resonances in the cross sections which are fundamental for its application. Methods for determining the cross sections are presented including the fabrication of targets for measuring the cross sections. Applications for both α and proton HEBS are presented.
