==LINAC parameters used in calculations==
 
1) pulse width 50 ps <br>
 
2) pulse current 50 A <br>
 
3) repetition rate 300 Hz <br>
 
4) energy 44 MeV <br><br>
 
 
==Number of electrons/sec on radiator==
 
 
<math> 50\ \frac{C}{sec} \times \frac{1\cdot e^-}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C} \times 50\ \mbox{ps} \times  300\ \mbox{Hz} = 0.47 \cdot 10^{13}\ \frac{e^-}{sec}</math><br><br>
 
 
==Number of photons/sec out of radiator==
 
 
#<math>\sigma_{brems}=0.1\ \mbox{photons/electrons/MeV/r.l}</math>
 
#<math>\mbox{r.l.(Ti)} = 3.59\ \mbox{cm}</math>
 
#<math>\mbox{radiator}\ \mbox{thickness} = 12.5\ \mu m</math>
 
 
 
<math>\frac{12.5\ \mu m}{3.59\ cm} = 3.48 \cdot 10^{-4}\ r.l.</math><br>
 
 
<math>0.47 \cdot 10^{13} \frac{e^-}{sec} \times 0.1\ \frac{\gamma 's}{(e^- \cdot MeV \cdot r.l.)} \times 3.48 \cdot 10^{-4}\ r.l. \times 10\ MeV =1.63 \cdot 10^{9} \frac{\gamma}{sec}</math><br><br>
 
 
'''Alex factor is 6.85 %'''
 
 
<math>1.63 \cdot 10^{9} \frac{\gamma}{sec} \cdot 6.85\ % = 1.12 \cdot 10^{8} \frac{\gamma}{sec}</math><br><br>
 
 
==Pair production rate==
 
 
===out of Al converter===
 
 
<math>\sigma_{pairs} = 0.5\ \frac{\mbox{barns}}{\mbox{atom}}</math>
 
 
<math>l = 3.0\ \mu m</math> (by varying width we can vary the yield)
 
 
<math>N_{Al} = \frac{2.70\ \frac{g}{cm^3} \times 6.02 \cdot 10^{23}\ \frac{atoms}{mol} \times 3.0\ \mu m} {26.98\ \frac{g}{mol}} = 1.81 \cdot 10^{23}\ \frac{\mbox{atoms}}{m^2}</math>
 
 
<math>\frac {1.12 \cdot 10^{8}\ \frac{\gamma}{sec} \times \sigma_{pairs} \times N_{Al}} {f} = 3.37\ \frac{\mbox{pairs}}{\mbox{pulse}} </math>
 
 
===through 1 m of air ===
 
 
Assume air consists entirely from Nitrogen:
 
 
<math>\sigma_{pairs}\ (\mbox{Nitrogen}) = 0.15\ \frac{\mbox{barns}}{\mbox{atom}}</math>
 
 
<math>l = 1.0\ \mbox{m}</math>
 
 
<math>N_{\mbox{Nitrogen}} = \frac{0.00125\ \frac{g}{cm^3} \times 6.02 \cdot 10^{23}\ \frac{atoms}{mol} \times 1.0\ \mbox{m}} {14.01\ \frac{g}{mol}} = 5.37 \cdot 10^{25}\ \frac{\mbox{atoms}}{m^2}</math>
 
 
<math>\frac {1.12 \cdot 10^{8}\ \frac{\gamma}{sec} \times \sigma_{pairs} \times N_{Al}} {f} = 300\ \frac{\mbox{pairs}}{\mbox{pulse}} </math>
