Warning
==================================================================
MF/MT combinations used to define ALL electron interaction data
are newly defined MF/MT numbers for ENDF/B-VI that did not exist
in earlier versions of ENDF/B.
==================================================================
Definition of Data
==================================================================
Cross Sections (MF=23)
==================================================================
1) The total electron interaction cross section is not given
explicitly; it is equal to the sum of the elastic scatter,
bremsstrahlung, excitation, and ionization cross sections,
i.e., MT = 526, 527, 528, and 534 through 572.
2) The total electroionization cross section is not given
explicitly; it is equal to the sum of the electroionization
subshell cross sections, i.e., all MT = 534 through 572.
==================================================================
Angular and Energy Distributions (MF=26)
==================================================================
3) For Elastic Scattering, the angular distribution of scattered
electrons is tabulated between cosine = -1.0 and +0.999999.
Between +0.999999 and +1.0 it is analytically defined as
Coulomb scattering,
d[Sig]/d(Cos) = A/[eta+(1.0 - Cos)]^2
where the shielding parameter (eta) is defined by Steve
Seltzer's expression (see, ref. 1), and the normalization (A)
is defined for continuity with the tabulated data at Cos =
+0.999999. Electron "elastic" scattering means no energy
loss, so only angular distributions are given.
4) For bremsstrahlung, both the outgoing electron and photon are
described. The photon energy spectra are given, but angular
distributions are not; these can be analytically defined by a
number of different methods. For the electron, average energy
loss is given. The electron is assumed to continue along its
original direction of travel, so angular distributions are not
given. WARNING - bremsstrahlung is a three body process,
involving an electron, a photon, and an atom - so that you
cannot use energy or momentum correlation to simply relate
the secondary electron and the emitted photon.
5) For excitation, the average energy loss of the electron is
given. The electron is assumed to continue along its original
direction of travel, so angular distributions are not given.
6) For Ionization, the spectra of electrons is given. The electron
is assumed to continue along its original direction of travel,
so angular distributions are not given. In ionization two
identical electrons emerge; the incident electron, and an
electron ejected by the atom [thereby ionizing the atom]. Since
the two particles are indistinquishable, we define the electron
with the lower energy to be that ejected by the atom, and the
electron with the higher energy to be the incident electron.
The energy of the two electrons is exactly correlated by energy
conservation: initial incident electron energy = binding energy
of the ejected electron, plus the kinetic energy of the ejected
and the secondary incident electron. Therefore only the spectra
of the lower energy, ejected electron is given. The energy of
the secondary incident electron should be defined to conserve
energy, as described above. The energy lost by the incident
electron is the sum of the binding and kinetic energy of the
ejected electron.
7) Relaxation of ionized atoms back to neutrality is not described
here; it is described in the companion Evaluated Atomic Data
Library (EADL).
