title: Cross sections for track structure codes: volume versus surface transport.
abstract: Cross-section calculations and transport models for Monte Carlo track structure codes are discussed as well as the simulation of secondary electron emission yields from thin metal foils. Inelastic cross sections for volume (bulk) and surface transport of electrons in copper are presented and implemented into PARTRAC. Simulations for the volume and surface excitation model are presented and analysed.
