IN a recent paper1 measurements of the probabilities of multiple emissions of secondary electrons are reported. These indicate that emission of at least some secondary electrons depends on interaction between the primary electron and the solid plasma as a whole, the co-operative interaction2 as opposed to the individual interaction of current theories3.
