A method of increasing the intensity of electron Bremsstrahlung by means of multiple passage of an electron beam through a conversion target placed in a magnetic field is described. After each passage through the conversion target, the diverging beam of electrons is focused in magnets with special pole pieces. To study the formation of the Bremsstrahlung flux the characteristics of the Bremsstrahlung of the 2–8 MeV electrons were calculated for aluminum, tin and tungsten targets of different thickness. This made it possible to choose the optimal target material and thickness.
