Abstract
We analyze the dependence of the Secondary Electron Emission yield on the beam incidence angle (θ) in the case of Faraday cups used for diagnosis of laser-plasma. We show that this dependence follows a secα(θ) law, consequently θ ≠ 0 situations (i.e. non-normal incidence) should be treated with care to avoid wrong measurements.
