    "abstract": "The Monte Carlo simulation of the electron transport through thin slabs is\nstudied with five general purpose codes: PENELOPE, GEANT3, GEANT4, EGSnrc and\nMCNPX. The different material foils analyzed in the old experiments of\nKulchitsky and Latyshev [Phys. Rev. 61 (1942) 254-266] and Hanson et al. [Phys.\nRev. 84 (1951) 634-637] are used to perform the comparison between the Monte\nCarlo codes. Non-negligible differences are observed in the angular\ndistributions of the transmitted electrons obtained with the some of the codes.\nThe experimental data are reasonably well described by EGSnrc, PENELOPE (v.\n2005) and GEANT4. A general good agreement is found for EGSnrc and GEANT4 in\nall the cases analyzed.",
