Fermi-Eyges for electrons
Referring to a Cartesian coordinate system (x,y,z ) and an electron, incident
perpendicularly on a medium at (0,0,0) in the z direction, the Fermi–Eyges
expression for the probability of finding the electron at depth

T(u)
is the linear scattering power of the medium at depth
u
MCS is multiple coulomb scattering
