摘要: Abstract Monte Carlo simulation of 1–4 keV positron backscattering from semi-infinite solid targets ranging Be (z = 4) to Au (z = 79) with normal angle incidence is here reported. In our study, the elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections are modeled by using various approaches based on either a classical or quantum mechanical treatment. Calculations coefficient then reported for interest. The results obtained show fairly good agreement data available in literature. dependence versus atomic number target interest has been investigated. this respect, polynomial functions proposed which does not require any recourse calculations.
