  A simple Monte Carlo procedure is described for simulating the multiple
scattering and absorption of electrons with the incident energy in the range
1-50 keV moving through a slab of uniformly distributed material of given
atomic number, density and thickness. The simulation is based on a screened
Rutherford cross-section and Bethe continuous energy-loss equation. A FORTRAN
program is written to determine backscattering, transmission and absorption
coefficients, providing the user with a graphical output of the electron
trajectories. The results of several simulations are presented by using various
numbers of electrons, showing a good agreement with the experiment. The program
is used to analyze the relation between the energy and the range of electron in
the slab, the backscattering, absorption, transmission coefficients and the
angular distribution.
