Axial Energy Distribution in Disc-Shaped Tantalum and Aluminium Bremsstrahlung Conversion Targets
نویسنده
چکیده
The axial distribution of energy deposited in bremsstrahlung conversion targets is modelled using the Monte Carlo N -Particle (MCNP) code. Systems comprising a disc-shaped target, segmented axially, and a point source of paraxial, monoenergetic electrons (2, 7, 10, or 14 MeV) are considered. Thick tantalum and aluminium targets and also tantalum targets of optimum thickness are modelled. Energy density, as a function of depth within the target, is found to depend on overall target thickness and to exhibit a maximum value at a particular depth. The far-field radiation polar diagram is calculated for X-rays exiting the target through its output face.

Interband contribution to transition radiation from metals
2014 Emission spectra from aluminium and copper targets excited by fast electrons have been measured. The ratio of these two measurements can be directly compared with theoretical transition radiation calculations. A well pronounced shoulder is observed at 2.1 eV giving the first experimental evidence of interband contribution to transition radiation. J. Physique LETTRES 43 (1982) L-733 L-737 C...
متن کاملOptimization of Bremsstrahlung imaging in Yttrium internal radiation therapy
Introduction: Treatment efficacy of radiation therapy using Yttrium-90 radionuclide is evaluated by the bremsstrahlung SPECT imaging following radiation therapy. The radioisotopic images have the ability to provide reliable activity map of 90Y distribution. But these images have a low quantitative accuracy in the 90Y bremsstrahlung SPECT imaging, therefore the optimization of...

The energy absorbing capability is one of the most important aspects of crushing behavior of a structure subjected to axial impact. In this paper, a simple practical method is introduced to enhance the crushing behavior of this kind of structure. The axial impact of metallic energy absorbing thin-walled tubes with special shaped cross-section is simulated using LS-DYNA software. The effect of c...
