The straggling of electrons due to radiation and ionization loss
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
The probability of an electron having an energy greater than a certain fraction of its initial energy after traversing a certain thickness of matter is calculated for different values of the initial energy. Whereas in previous calculations the energy losses by radiation and by ionization have been treated separately, and the results added, the two types of losses are here combined and their effect on each other included. The results may be compared with those of experiment for values of the initial energy up to a few times the initial energy up to a few times the critical energy of the substance traversed. The theoretical values obtained are found to give better agreement with the results of experiment than do those obtained by the less accurate method.
