Calculation of bremsstrahlung spectra from a thick tungsten radiator as a function of photon energy and angle

Behavior of tungsten under irradiation and plasma interaction

“…A "side-effect" of electron irradiation is the generation of bremsstrahlung using tungsten as a target material, which has been studied more intensively by means of energy spectra and angular distribution since the 1970s (e.g. [63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72]). Bremsstrahlung is electromagnetic radiation produced by deceleration of electrons (or more generally of charged particles), in the present case, due to deflection by the tungsten lattice nuclei.…”

“…This radiation has a continuous energy spectrum of photons with maximum energy which equates to the energy of electrons impinging on the target material. The energy spectrum of bremsstrahlung is given as [34][35][36]:…”

“…The terms appearing in eq. (3.2) can be estimated as explained in [28,35,36] and eq. (3.2) takes into account all the parameters influencing the bremsstrahlung photon production such as target material, electron scattering inside the target material B i (w), the electron energy loss [(T e ) i • k], the electron transmission coefficient τ(T e , d i T) and photon mass attenuation in the target.…”
