Electron Trajectory

Trajectory Simulator computes electron trajectories inside a sample by the Monte-Carlo method: incident electrons undergo elastic and inelastic scattering, and the resulting distributions of backscattered electrons (direction, energy, penetration depth) are accumulated. These distributions also feed the angular/energy/depth weighting used by the 14. EBSD simulation.
