Cross Section of Secondary-Electron Generation

Figure 4613 shows the cross section of secondary-electron generation process in Al as a function of the incident electron energy at the scattering angles of ~ 0°. For comparison, the figure also shows cross sections for the elastic and other inelastic scattering processes.
