Abstract
The paper deals with the measurement of secondary electron emission and the scattering of primary electrons on thin self-supporting films of Ag. The measured values of the practical range agree with the older results obtained by Kanter. New results are those concerning the maximum depth from which the primaries are scattered back to the front surface and the maximum range of secondaries, which has been found to be about 300 å.
