Abstract

The nonlinear term of the radiative transfer equation is considered in the small-angle approximation. Angular distributions of electrons elastically scattered from semi-infinite Au and Be samples are calculated. The error introduced by calculating flows of electrons elastically scattered from a semi-infinite target in the small-angle approximation is estimated.
