Tables of energy-deposition distributions in absorbers irradiated by plane-parallel electron beams with incident energies between 0.1 and 100 MeV are presented. The absorbers considered are elemental materials with atomic numbers between 4 and 92 (Be, C, Al, Cu, Ag, Au, and U) and compound and mixture materials of interest in health physics (tissue-equivalent plastic A150, air, air-equivalent plastic C552, polymethylmethacrylate, water, and "solid water" WT1). The distributions have been computed by using the ITS Monte Carlo system version 3.0 to simulate 105 primary-electron histories and subsequent electron and photon generations. The transport of all generations of electrons has been followed down to a cutoff energy, which is the smaller of 0.5 MeV or 5% of the incident-electron energy; photon transport has been simulated-down to 10 keV. Tabulated values have been obtained by applying numerical smoothing to the direct Monte Carlo results and are given in scaled quantities to facilitate interpolation as a function of incident energy and absorber atomic number. Comparisons with other Monte Carlo calculations and experiments are included.
