Description
Full text: Energy and angular distribution of the Bremsstrahlung photons originating from the target in electron accelerators are important for accelerator design. In this paper the photon intensity per steradian as a function of their emission at different polar angles for high energy electrons of 2 MeV, 6 MeV, 15 MeV and 30 MeV are presented and discussed. As energy increases the predominance of the forward Bremsstrahlung intensity is seen from the results. Also the photon spectrum in the angle 0-5 degrees are also presented for all the energies mentioned above. The results for 30 MeV electrons are agreeing well with the available data in literature. The paper also discusses optimum tungsten target thickness to obtain maximum Bremsstrahlung efficiency for 15 MeV and 6 MeV electrons
