Abstract

We have derived inelastic interaction cross sections for electrons and protons with Al, Cu, and Au within the framework of a plane-wave Born approximation and an optical data model. We have implemented a transport model for protons and electrons in Cu into the Monte Carlo track structure code PARTRAC. We have simulated secondary electron yields in Cu and compared them with measurements from the literature. We find that simulated yields in general follow the measurements but clearly overestimate them at energies below 50 eV.
