Characterization of bremsstrahlung radiations for 6 to 18 MeV electron beam from different Z elements: experimental and simulation approach

This chapter deals with the study of bremsstrahlung spectra for 6 to 18 MeV electron beam from different materials such as low to high Z elements as an e target. The simulation using FLUKA involves the neutron, electron, positron and bremsstrahlung fluence determination at various angles Moreover the thickness of . , e target has varied from thin to thick i.e from 0.1% to 150% of RCSDA. In addition, the reliability of FLUKA simulation was confirmed by calculating the bremsstrahlung spectrum for the setup of experiments performed by other researchers and corresponding validation was done. The data generated in this chapter can be used as a right hand data for the researchers working in the field of medical, nuclear and accelerator physics.
