A computational model for electron backscattering in electron dosimetry.
A one-dimensional electron transport algorithm based on the ideas of invariant imbedding has been developed and applied to the problem of electron backscattering in electron dosimetry. Results have been compared with experimental and Monte Carlo results. Agreement appears to be reasonable at low incident energies (0.5 to 10 MeV) and low Z(Z < or = 65) materials.
