Description
Objective: Analysis of the radiation characteristics of 8 MeV electron irradiation accelerator. Methods: Established geometric model of X-ray from 8 MeV electrons incident on lead target, iron target, aluminum target, X ray energy spectrums from 0 degree to 180 degree and dose emission rates in o degree, 90 degree, 180 degree were calculated by MCNP5. Results: Dose emission rates agree well with the data from NCRP Report No.51. Conclusion: Dose emission rates have obvious direction, the maximum rate is in 0 degree on lead target and rates decrease with angle increasing or target atomic number reduction; X-ray energy spectrum in 0 degree is most hard and spectrums become soft with angle increasing or target atomic number reduction.
