Show affiliationsThe small-angle plural scattering of a well-collimated beam of mono-energetic particles by a collection of stationary scatterers has been investigated by means of Monte Carlo calculations. A cross-sectional profile of the form σ(θ) = σ(0) exp (− θ/α) has been assumed. This is a reasonably good approximation for the atomic scattering of medium-energy electrons and yet is sufficiently simple to allow analytical evaluation of the integrals occurring in the Goudsmit-Saunderson-Moliere theory of plural scattering.
The theoretical and Monte Carlo results are compared with the predictions of a simple model of plural scattering based on observations of small-angle scattering of medium-energy electrons in gases.
