Title: 90{degree} bremsstrahlung source term produced in thick targets by 50 MeV to 10 GeV electrons

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/753250· OSTI ID:753250

The 90{degree} bremsstrahlung source term produced in thick targets were studied using the EGS4 and FLUKA Monte Carlo codes. Calculations were performed for cylindrical targets of aluminum, iron, copper and lead. In the calculations, the electron beam energies varied from 50 MeV to 10 GeV, and the target radii varied from 0.5 to 3 Moliere units. The results were compared with the SLAC SHIELD11 code.
