Abstract
Some of the high-energy electrons formed as a result of beta decay in the surface layer of a solid escape from the substance and form on its surface a flux with a particular angular and energy distribution. In order to understand the interaction of such a material with the surrounding medium the authors of this paper have theoretically determined the total emission current as well as the angular and energy distribution of the beta electrons escaping from the surface. Elastic and inelastic scattering, slowing-down time, differential cross sections, bremsstrahlung, ionization, and secondary emission are also studied.
