Description
Summary:The paper presents some important problems related to the practical aspect of employing the bremsstrahlung radiation generated by linear accelerators used in the irradiation technological processes, namely: •The optimization of the electron-bremsstrahlung conversion output by optimizing the target thickness and•the study on the influence of some variable parameters of the accelerator (i.e. the beam current, the magnetron frequency and the injection voltage) on the dosimeter characteristics of the bremsstrahlung radiation.The measurements have been performed with the 3.5 and 10MeV linear electron accelerators in NILPRP-Electron Accelerator Laboratory.
