A Monte Carlo calculation on the scattering of electrons in copper

The Monte Carlo method described by Green in 1963 has been used to investigate the scattering of 29 kev electrons in a copper target. The results are compared with experimental data and are used to suggest how theoretical expressions obtained for an infinite solid may be modified to apply to the practical case of a semi-infinite target.
