Abstract
A calculation is made of the expected secondary electron flux resulting from the knock-on collisions of the primary nuclear beam with the interstellar gas. The model includes ionization losses and a statistical Fermimechanism energy gain. Comparison is made with recent satellite experimental data.Keywords
