  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

The calculations for the energy deposition of (100 ÷ ÷ 300) MeV electrons have been carried out by EGS-3 shower code. The code is suitable for calculations for the energies ranging from 10 MeV to 1 GeV. The energies of the incident electrons were 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 MeV. Detailed energy profiles for the radial energy deposition in copper are presented. Also radial and axial showers in water, carbon, steel, copper, tungsten and lead were investigated for comparison. A comparison with the published data is made.

Riassunto

Si effettuano i calcoli per la deposizione di energia di elettroni a (100 ÷ 300) MeV utilizzando il codice di sciame EGS-3. Il codice è adatto per calcoli per energie che vanno da 10 MeV a 1 GeV. Le energie degli elettroni incidenti sono di 100, 150, 200, 250 e 300 MeV. Si presentano profili dettagliati dell’energia per la deposizione radiale di energia nel rame. Si studiano per un confronto anche gli sciami radiali e assiali in acqua, carbone, acciaio, rame, tungsteno e piombo. Si fa un confronto con i dati pubblicati.

Реэюме

Испольэуя ливневый код ЕGS-3, проводятся вычисления выделения знергии злектронами с знергиями (100÷300) МзВ. Укаэанный код удобен для вычислений в области знергий от 10 МзВ до 1 ГзВ. Рассмотрены знергии падаюших злектронов 100, 150, 200, 250 и 300 МзВ. Приводятся подробные знергетические профили для радиального выделения знергии в меди. Для сравнения исследуются также радиальные и аксиальные ливни в воде, углероде, стали, меди, вольфраме и свинце. Проводится сравнение с опубликованными данными.
