Resumen:
A Monte Carlo program to simulate the scattering contributions to the x-ray fluorescent line was developed. Simulations were carried out on three pure samples (Z = 14, 28 and 40) in several geometrical situations (incident and take-off directions of the photons). The results show that the scattering effects do not exceed 4% for the analysed elements in the X-ray regime. Good agreement between normal incidence simulations and theoretical results was found. The vanishing of second-order interactions inside the sample when the propagation plane approx- imates 42 was also verified.
