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

Click For Summary
X-ray collisions with silicon and aluminum generate secondary particles primarily through incoherent (Compton) scattering and the photoelectric effect, while coherent scattering does not produce secondary particles. The discussion emphasizes the need for articles and images to support simulations of this phenomenon in Geant4. It notes that the interaction coefficients for aluminum can be referenced to understand similar behaviors in silicon due to their comparable atomic numbers. The user seeks validation for their simulation results based on these interactions. Understanding these processes is crucial for accurate modeling in radiation physics.

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.

Theoretical physicist C.N. Yang died at the age of 103 years on October 18, 2025. He is the Yang in Yang-Mills theory, which he and his collaborators devised in 1953, which is a generic quantum field theory that is used by scientists to study amplitudes (i.e. vector probabilities) that are foundational in all Standard Model processes and most quantum gravity theories. He also won a Nobel prize in 1957 for his work on CP violation. (I didn't see the post in General Discussions at PF on his...
