Abstract
A Monte Carlo method was developed to simulate the interaction of an e lectron beam with a nonuniform gas flow. The model was used to determi ne the three-dimensional distribution of rates of ionization and excit ation of C (3) Pi(u) in nitrogen. The results indicate that ionization in a jet occurred much less efficiently than in uniform flow. It was shown that isotropic scattering and no electron beam degradation shoul d be considered when modeling the interaction of a high-energy electro n beam with a low density jet.
