A Code for the Secondary Electron Energy Distribution in Air and Some Applications.

Abstract

The development and some applications of a secondary electron distribution code (SED) is discussed in detail, An (SED) code is essential for high energy electron beam deposition in the atmosphere. The code provides the secondary flux, the energy flow into various ionizations, excitations and the fractional contributions of the primary and the secondary electrons to these processes. The code predicts a 34 e V per ion pair expenditure and various ion fractions per ion pair which are in good agreement with the accepted values.
