Calculating Radiators Equilibrium Temperature

1.Calculating number of particles per second

We have electron beam of:

Frequency: f=1000Hz

Peak current: I=10mAmp=0.01 Amp

Pulse width: ∆t= 50 ns=5*10-8 seconds

So, how many electrons we have in each second?

By Q=It, we have

                           [math] N \times e=f \times I \times \Delta t [/math]

Where Ne is the total electron numbers hits target per second, e is electron charge and f, I and ∆t are given above. So

                          N= f*I*∆t/e=1000*0.01*5*10-8/(1.6*10-19)=3.12075*1012

                           [math]  N = \frac {f \times I \times \Delta t}{e} [/math]

                                     = \frac {f \times I \times \Delta t}{e} </math>

So, we have around 3.12075*1012 electrons hit radiator per second.

2.Calculating Energy deposited per second

If we find the energy deposited by each electron and multiply to the total number of electrons in each second, we will find the total energy per second deposited in radiator.

To find energy deposited by each electron, we need to use formula

                                                    [math] E_{dep  one}=(dE/dx)_{coll}*t [/math]

Where is [math] E_{dep one}[/math] is energy deposited by one electron, [math](dE/dx)_{coll}[/math] is mean energy loss (also stopping power) by collision of electron and t is thickness of the radiator.

Actually, energy loss of electron comes from two parts: the emission of electromagnetic radiation arising from scattering in the electric field of a nucleus (bremsstrahlung) and collisional energy loss when passing through matter. But bremsstrahlung will not contribute to the temperature, since it is radiation.

Stopping power can be found from nuclear data tables [math] (dE/dx)_{ave} [/math] and thickness is 0.001 times of radiation length. From Particle Data group we got radiation length and average total stopping powers around 15MeV for electrons in these materials from National Institute of Standards and Technology

Elements		t( [math] gcm^{-2}[/math])	[math]E_{dep one}[/math] (MeV)	[math]E_{dep/s}[/math] (MeV/s)	[math]E_{dep/s}[/math] (J/s)
W	1.247	0.00676	0.00842972	[math]2.63*10^{10}[/math]	[math]4.21*10^{-3}[/math]

In above table,we took the total numbers of electrons per second and multiply it to Energy deposited by one electron,get total energy deposited per second (which is power).

                                  [math]P{dep}= E{dep/s} = ( E {dep by one})*(Number of electron per second)[/math]

3.Calculating equilibrium temperature using Stefan–Boltzmann law

If we assume that there is no energy conduction and total energy is just radiated from two surfaces of the radiators which are as big as beam spot,in our case beam spot is 2mm in diameter. According to Stefan–Boltzmann law, this total power radiated will be

                                                        [math] P_{rad}[/math]= 2Aσ[math]T^{4}[/math]

Where T is radiating temperature P is the radiating power, A is surface area that beam incident and σ is Stefan–Boltzmann constant or Stefan's constant. To reach equilibrium temperature, Power deposited in and power radiated should be. So

                                                       [math] P_{dep}=P_{rad} [/math]

so

                                              T =[[math]  P_{dep}[/math]/(2Aσ)]^{1/4}
