Abstract: A mixed Monte Carlo algorithm for transport with electrons of energy from 50 eV to 1 GeV is described which combines detailed simulation and condensed simulation.Through adjusting scattering angle and energy loss factors,times of single collisions are decided.In the process,single collisions are simulated with detailed method,and multiple scatterings among single collisions are simulated with condensed method.Results and efficiency of calculation affected by factors mentioned above are discussed.Backscattering on solids induced by incident electrons is simulated.Calculated backscattering coefficients and energy distribution agree with theoretical and experimental results well.

Key words: mixed simulation, backscattering coefficient, energy distribution
