Abstract
The back-scattering of secondary electrons toward the cathode in a hig h-density noble gas and the resulting effective secondary (electron) e mission coefficient, ESEC, is evaluated using a kinetic approach. The behaviour of the ESEC in a mixture of noble gases is also discussed. T he obtained results can be applied to different sources of secondary e lectrons-ions, photons, etc. We provide a comparison of obtained expre ssions with experiments.
