Weymouth’s method for calculating electron transport in a half-space is generalized and used to obtain algebraic expressions for the magnitude and angular distribution of the photo-Compton current emitted from a surface irradiated by photons of any energy between 10 keV and 10 MeV. Algebraic expressions for the energy deposition at the surface and for the energy distribution of the emitted electrons are also obtained. Comparisons with Monte Carlo calculations and with experiment are presented.
