Determining the Electron Beam Spectrum after Passing through Aluminum Plates

  • Published:
Moscow University Physics Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

The study presents analytical dependencies that describe the electron spectrum and depth dose distribution in the object with an accelerated electron beam with having an initial energy of 1–10 MeV after passing through aluminum plates with a thickness of 0.5–5 mm. The mathematical model we developed allows to determine the spectrum of an electron beam after passing through plates with an error margin of no more than 10\(\%\) and the depth dose distributions with a margin of error of no more 5\(\%\).
