The Energy and Angle Distribution of Bremsstrahlung Due to Monoenergetic Electrons
نویسندگان
چکیده
(Abstract Continued) electron initial velocity to the velocity of light and 0 is the angle of observation, the Sommerfeld theory represents the experimental spectra quite well in shape as well as in angular distribution; however, the experimental intensities are consistently lower in absolute value than the corrected Sommerfeld theory by about 35 percent on the average. The Sauter-Bethe-Heitler theory predicts the angular distribution peaking quite well even though the Born-approximation criterion 1s clearly violated; however, the spectral shape is poorly predicted by this theory.

Axial Energy Distribution in Disc-Shaped Tantalum and Aluminium Bremsstrahlung Conversion Targets
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...
متن کاملBremsstrahlung imaging from the liver using the Monte Carlo simulation
Introduction: Most beta and gamma radiation radioisotopes used for treatment are not suitable for imaging. The bremsstrahlung images on a conventional gamma camera helped to localize the radionuclide within and outside of the lesion. Secondary scattering of gamma rays of higher energy and bremsstrahlung causes contamination in the energy window and reducing the contrast and resolution of the im...

Introduction: The use of electrons in the electron therapy to destroy tumoral tissue is dedicated significant contribution of different methods of radiation therapy. Scattered radiation due to exited electrons of the applicator affect the dose out of the field in the patient's normal tissue. The aim of this study is to determine the peripheral dose outside the applicator in the...

At the beginning of thermonuclear ignition in fusion plasma, the bremsstrahlung radiation is dominant phenomenon, the photons distribution function is Planckian and plasma is considered as optically thick one. But at a certain energy, the bremsstrahlung radiation and Compton scattering losses rates become equal and plasma makes a transition from optically thick to optically thin and photons dis...
متن کاملShielding simulations for safe use of curtain electron accelerator by MCNP4C
In an electron curtain accelerator, when the electron beam passes through the titanium exit window of the accelerator chamber, X-ray photons are produced as a negative by-product of retarding accelerated electrons. Controlling the produced X-ray photons to avoid their detrimental effects or in fact, proper shielding of the accelerator is an important issue that has to be considered in the use o...
