title: Calculation of the cross sections of electron interaction with matter.
abstract: Electron scattering cross sections have been calculated and measured for aluminium, copper, silver and gold samples. The energy of the incident electrons ranges from 300 to 1200 keV. We have developed a theory similar to that of Lenz using a modified form of the Wentzel potential. The theoritical results give a good representation of the measurements.
