Design of High Energy Electron / X-Rays Conversion Target

In this work the design of a target converting high energy electrons to bremsstrahlung x-ray is described. The system has been optimized for different energy of the accelerated electron beam, using the EGS4 Monte-Carlo computer code. For this purpose the thickness of the layers in the target, including the main converter, cooling and lower layer (for the energy spectrum tuning), suitable to the desired and practical conditions have been obtained. In order to evaluate the calculated results, measurements have been carried out for the same geometry using the x-ray converter target, for 2MeV, 5MeV and 10 MeV electron beam. It is shown that the calculated data are in good agreement with the experimental results.
