Keywords: Bremsstrahlung Radiation, GEANT4 Simulation, Tungsten Targets, Electron Beam, Radiation YieldAbstract
This study explores the generation of Bremsstrahlung radiation by electrons in
tungsten (W) targets of varying thicknesses subjected to different energy beams using
GEANT4 simulations. By systematically modifying the target thickness and electron
beam energies, we examine the resultant radiation yield and spectrum. The results
enhance our understanding of Bremsstrahlung processes in high-Z materials and
provide valuable insights for applications such as radiation therapy, particle detectors,
and material analysis.
