Extract

SeSAME, a Monte Carlo simulation program which can handle totally arbitrarily shaped twodimensional geometries, has been extended for the modeling of whole x-ray spectra in absolute units. The so called single scattering model has been used for the simulations presented here. Elastic scattering processes are modeled using a partial wave approach according to a relativistic expression derived by Mott. For the calculation of the electron energy loss the stopping power formula from Joy and Luo has been applied.

Two different double differential cross sections for continuous x-ray production have been implemented into SeSAME. The first one is an analytical model derived by Kirkpatrick and Wiedmann and is based on a non-relativistic theory developed by Sommerfield and Elwert. The second one uses tabulated values for the shape function for atomic-field Bremsstrahlung and scaled Bremsstrahlung cross sections differential only in photon energy according to Kissel at al.
