The simulation uses the well know Monte Carlo method, in which some of the variables affecting the electron trajectory are randomly selected from a specific distribution of values. Based on the simulation of a large number of electrons, it is possible to have a picture of the electron beam''s behaviour inside the specimen under investigation.
The electron trajectories calculations allow the estimation of various process related parameters, such as electron backscattering (coefficient, energy, angular/energy spectral distribution), seocndary electrons, X-rays generation, electron beam depth dose, and in general other paramenters that are linked to the beam energy dissipation properties in the specimen.
