Abstract
Describes Monte Carlo calculations pertaining to the penetration of electron beams through compounds. The distribution of the range of electrons in solids has been studied quantitatively. New data are presented on the reflection, absorption and transmission coefficients, the most probable range and the range distribution of electrons in a few typical compounds, for incident beam energies up to 0.5 MeV.Keywords
