Radiation Induced Electron Emission.
Abstract
Electron fluxes generated by photons or charged particles interacting with solid materials can emerge from the boundaries of those materials. The electron current densities arising from these spectra constitute source functions for vulnerability studies on systems exposed to internal electromagnetic pulse (IEMP, SGEMP). Absolute yield measurements have been made from tantalum, molybdenum, copper, and aluminum. The energy and angular distribution have been determined and are used as comparison bases for computation. Examples from several sources are described.
