Abstract
In the bremsstrahlung field of the Microtron MT 22, copper foils (0.035 mm thick) positioned along beam direction and also perpendicular to the beam at different distances from the bremsstrahlung target were irradiated. From these activated copper foils autorodiograms were prepared. By means of a densitron and a microdensitometer, the autoradiograms were measured. The densitron pictures give a qualitative impression of the geometry of the bremsstrahlung field, whereas the curves of optical density yield quantitative values. From optical density curves, conclusions have been drawn about optimal geometry for irradiation positions of samples in this bremsstrahlung field. A sample rotating device applicable for photon activation analysis by means of the MT 22 is described.
