Photon yield

There were used couple of targets to simulate bremsstrahlung radiation yield. Energy of incident electrons was chosen to be E = 14.0 MeV. Number of incident electrons was [math]10^4[/math]. The radiatoin yield was estimated for [math]E_{\gamma} \gt 6 MeV[/math] in the range of angles [math]0^0 \lt \theta \lt 2^0 [/math], [math]\theta[/math] is opening angle of the radiation cone.

Tantalum target

The maximum photon yield for Ta was 30[math]\gamma[/math] per [math]10^4[/math] incident electrons in in the range of angles [math]0^0 \lt \theta \lt 2^0 [/math] and for [math]E_{\gamma} \gt 6 MeV[/math].
