Abstract
The spatial distribution of the momentum spectrum of recoiling atoms in an elastic collision cascade, produced by an energetic ion injected into a random solid, is investigated. Recoils are counted when accelerated from rest, or decelerated from above an energy boundary into an energy interval [] in a single collision. Pronounced cascade anisotropies are observed, the magnitude and direction depending on the recoil energy and the depth.
