Absorption, backscattering and transmission properties assessment of electrons and photons in BeO and NaCl materials by Monte Carlo method

The simulation by the Monte Carlo method has proved to be effective in highlighting the absorption properties, of backscattering and transmission when propagating 5 KeV electron beams through 150 µm thick of each of the BeO and NaCl materials. Despite the fact that a very small fraction of the primary electrons was transmitted in the materials, several microscopic phenomena occurred at the level of the electronic sub-layers. This is the characteristic line, fluorescence and bremsstrahlung. The energy of the incidence electrons was higher than that of the sub-shells of atoms in the materials studied. The sub-shells concerned were for oxygen: KL2, KL3, KM2, KM3, L3M1, L3M3, L2M1, L1M3, L1M2, chlorine: L1M2, sodium: KL2 and KL3. Due to their properties, the use of BeO and NaCl can improve performance in the manufacture of advanced technology devices such as synchrotron, clinical particle accelerator and X-ray tube.
