Abstract
In the present work, the general method proposed earlier for calculating the distribution density and moments of the absorbed energy in isolated sensitive regions of absorbers irradiated by ionizing particles is developed and made specific for the electron-photon problem. Electron transfer is considered within the framework of a model using grouping of excitations and slipping ionization; the presence of electron equilibrium in the vicinity of sensitive regions is assumed. Two similar methods of calculating these characteristics are developed. Both reduce the initial problem to two independent problems: determining the electron spectrum in the sensitive region (in one of the methods, the spectrum of electron sources is also needed) and calculating the coefficients characterizing electron transfer in the sensitive region and its immediate vicinity.
