Where acceleration of particles is caused by a voltage drop, there
is no "Boltzmann's tail", since this relies on a thermal
distribution of energies, and the energy of the particles is
determined by the voltage drop. There can be some energy lost due
to prior collisions, but the voltage itself provides for a sharp
upper limit.
The energy required for spallation in this case > 13 MeV, and I
seriously doubt that anyone is doing experiments of this nature
using a voltage of 13 Megavolts.
