Abstract

Computer simulation of an experiment on scattering of a strongly collimated beam of 13-MeV bremsstrahlung electrons from a macroscopically smooth surface through ultrasmall angles is carried out by the Monte Carlo method taking into account the interaction of the beam with an extended air medium. A comparison of the results of calculations and experimental data indicates the possibility of total external reflection of γ quanta in the energy range ≤1 MeV.
