How Do X-Ray Collisions Generate Secondary Particles in Silicon and Aluminum?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the generation of secondary particles when X-rays collide with silicon and aluminum materials, specifically using Geant4 for simulation. It highlights that coherent scattering does not produce secondary particles, while incoherent (Compton) scattering and the photoelectric effect do generate secondary electrons. The atomic numbers of silicon (Z = 14) and aluminum (Z = 13) are noted, indicating their similar behavior under X-ray interactions, adjusted for density. The user seeks articles and images to validate their simulation results.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of X-ray interactions with matter
  • Familiarity with Geant4 simulation software
  • Knowledge of coherent and incoherent scattering mechanisms
  • Basic concepts of secondary particle generation
NEXT STEPS

TL;DR
I need some articles and pictures about secondary-particle generation when x-ray(with different energy) collides with silicon and aluminium materials.
Hello,
I need some articles and pictures about secondary particle generation when x-ray(with different energy) collides with silicon and aluminium materials. I am simulating this phenomenon in geant4. I just want to validate my result.
