Relaxation

Structure used to define parameters for relaxation cascades (florescence and Auger electron production)

Mandatory field(s)

• N/A

Optional field(s) - with default values

• ηmin::Float64 = 0.001 : minimum probability of the production of specific relaxation particle production following electron cascades.
• interaction_types::Dict{Tuple{DataType,DataType},Vector{String}} = Dict((Photon,Electron) => ["P"],(Electron,Electron) => ["P"],(Positron,Electron) => ["P"],(Photon,Photon) => ["P"],(Electron,Photon) => ["P"],(Positron,Photon) => ["P"]) : Dictionary of the interaction processes types, of the form (incident particle,outgoing particle) => associated list of interaction type, which values correspond:
  • (Photon,Electron) => ["P"] : production of Auger electron following incident photon ionization of subshells (by photoelectric effect).
  • (Electron,Electron) => ["P"] : production of Auger electron following incident electrons ionization of subshells (by Møller interaction).
  • (Positron,Electron) => ["P"] : production of Auger electron following incident positrons ionization of subshells (by Bhabha interaction).
  • (Photon,Photon) => ["P"] : production of fluorescence following incident photon ionization of subshells (by photoelectric effect).
  • (Electron,Photon) => ["P"] : production of fluorescence following incident electrons ionization of subshells (by Møller interaction).
  • (Positron,Photon) => ["P"] : production of fluorescence following incident positrons ionization of subshells (by Bhabha interaction).
