Introduction: In clinical electron beams, most of bremsstrahlung radiation is produced by various linac head structures. This bremsstrahlung radiation dose is influenced by the geometry and construction of every component of the linac treatment head structures. Thus, it can be expected that the amount of the contaminated photon dose due to bremsstrahlung radiation varies among different linacs,...

We briefly discuss GLAST’s capabilities for observing high-energy radiation from various energetic phenomena in our solar system. These emissions include: bremsstrahlung, nuclear-line and pion-decay gamma-radiation, and neutrons from solar flares; bremsstrahlung and pion-decay gamma radiation from cosmic-ray interactions with the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth’s atmosphere; and inverse Compton ra...

We consider the bremsstrahlung surface photon emissivity of strange quark stars, by sistematically taking into account the effects of the multiple scatterings of the highly relativistic quarks in a dense medium (the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect). Due to interference between amplitudes of nearby interactions the bremsstrahlung emissivity from strange star surface is suppressed for frequencie...

Introduction The Advanced Photon Source (APS), as well as other third-generation synchrotron light sources, uses permanent magnets in the insertion devices to produce x-rays for scientific research [1,2]. When placed in a high-energy storage ring, these permanent magnets are subjected to irradiation from synchrotron radiation, high-energy bremsstrahlung, and bremsstrahlung-produced photoneutron...

The grain size effects on the bremsstrahlung emission spectrum due to nonrelativisitc electrondust grain collisions are investigated in dusty plasmas. Using the Born approximation for the initial and final states of the projectile electron, the bremsstranhlung radiation cross section is obtained as a function of the grain size, dust charge, Debye radius, collision energy, and radiation photon e...

exposure buildup factors have been calculated by monte carlo method for point isotropic gamma ray sources, penetrating a two-layer spherical shield of water surrounded by lead, and the effect of bremsstrahlung radiation on buildup factors has, in particular, been investigated, the results of which are in good agreement with previous works. the buildup factors were then calculated for various co...

The efficiency of new nontraditional scheme for generating bremsstrahlung is studied by means of computer simulation. In this scheme the electron beam multiply crosses a thin target due to the presence of special focusing magnetic field [1]. It is showed that one could expect more than two times increasing of the radiation yield power. 1 NEW SCHEME OF EFFECTIVE BREMSSTRAHLUNG SOURCE The X-ray r...
