摘要: A physical model for the simulation of x-ray emission spectra from samples irradiated with kilovolt electron beams is proposed. Inner shell ionization by impact described means total cross sections evaluated an optical-data model. double differential section proposed bremsstrahlung emission, which reproduces radiative stopping powers derived partial wave calculations Kissel, Quarles and Pratt [At. Data Nucl. Tables 28, 381 (1983)]. These have been introduced into a general-purpose Monte Carlo code, performs coupled photon transport arbitrary materials. To improve efficiency simulation, interaction forcing, variance reduction technique, has applied both ionizing collisions events. The reliability simulated analyzed comparing results probe measurements.
