Popis: A Monte Carlo method for the passage of electrons based on a single scatterring model has been developed. A code constructed is operable on personal computers, and has been applied to analyze electron behavior in a layered system consisting of Ti (an accelerator window), air, CTA and backing material irradiated by 300 keV electrons, in the static and dynamic irradiation. The energy spectra and the angular distributions of electrons at the CTA surface as well as depth distributions of energy deposition in the CTA layer of 114 μm thickness placed on various backing materials have been obtained. The backscattering coefficients for various backing materials have been calculated. These results indicate that the characteristics of the electrons at the forward surface of CTA in the dynamic irradiation are similar to those of the electrons diffusely incident on the backing material. Some of these results are in good agreement with our experiments.
