When a monoenergetic electron beam bombards a solid target, some electrons are backscattered without energy loss. This elastic electron backscattering effect plays an important role in many experimental techniques, like low-energy electron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and others....

A new adaptive technique for Monte Carlo (MC) integration is proposed and studied. An error analysis is given. It is shown that the error of the numerical integration depends on the smoothness of the integrand. A superconvergent adaptive method is presented. The method combines the idea of...
