The basic aspects related to the scattering processes, useful for both the analytical and Monte Carlo calculation of backscattering and the depth distribution of low-energy ({ital E}{sub 0}{le}10 keV) electrons impinging on solid targets, are described. After a careful analysis of the scattering mechanisms, selected new results regarding elastic and inelastic scattering of low-energy electrons impinging on SiO{sub 2} are reported. Comparison with experimental data and earlier theoretical results show a general good agreement. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
