Figure 4
Parameters of cascades induced by an electron or a photon of given energy in polystyrene, silicon and gold. The x axis shows the energy of the impact particle (electron – solid curves; photon – dashed curves). The plot presents the incident electron range (depending on the incident electron energy), the photo-electron range (depending on the incident photon energy), the size of the electron-induced cascade and the size of the photon-induced cascade (see definitions in the text). Ranges of photon-induced Auger electrons are also shown. |
