This document describes the simulations performed to estimate the radiological background in the event that a 1 nA electron current from the HRRL enters the experimental cell.
Radiation monitors: Ludlum Model 45-8.
Low energy gamma cutoff = 60 keV
Tungsten SImulation
I created a world volume filled with Air to represent the experimental cell.
I created a 2mm thick tungsten target that is 30 cm x 30 cm in area.
The image below shows several electrons hitting the tungsten foil, then scattering in air. The red lines are electrons and the green ones are photons.
