Description
A setup for radiobiological studies using channeling radiation produced at a beamline of the superconducting electron accelerator ELBE has been optimized in order to reduce the bremsstrahlung and neutron background. The electron beam transport was designed using the code package PARMELA. The interaction of the electrons with the elements of the beam delivery and bremsstrahlung production has been calculated by means of GEANT. These results were used as input for EGS4 to calculate dose distributions in a biological specimen. (orig.)
