What is it about?
We investigate deposited energy and linear energy transfer (LET) of low energy ejection electrons in air and water layers of a generator design via a plasma source. A structured model of a concave cold cathode electron generator was designed and simulated by using Monte Carlo n-particle version X 2.7.0 (MCNPX) code.A negative dc high voltage was applied to a concave cathode up to −12 kV to determine electron energy activity.

Why is it important?
The electron irradiation as a conic beam from an electron generator provide an accurate investigation of the indirect effect of low energy electrons on bystander cells and also micro-superficies tumors treatment applications.
