We have measured the yields of convoy electrons associated with 15.2-MeV/amu Ni/sup 24 +/ and Ni/sup 26 +/ ions transversing thin, poly-crystalline foils of C and Al. The thicknesses used were in the range 3 to 500 ..mu..g/cm/sup 2/. By observing how the yield saturates with increasing thickness, we obtained effective mean free paths (MFPs) for the scattering of convoy electrons out of the collector half angle (1.54/sup 0/).
