The Scattering of 121 KeV Electrons and Positrons

Abstract

The angular distribution of the single scattering of 121 keV positrons in gold and of 121 keV electrons and positrons in argon is calculated for an exponentially screened field. The single scattering distributions are integrated numerically to give mean square angles of multiple scattering, and hence the percentage difference in the r.m.s. angles of multiple scattering of electrons and positrons.
