Electron and Photon Transport Calculations between 1MeV and 1eV
Abstract
This report will describe the development and application of numerical methods for predicting dose and variation in multi-layered structures due to x-rays and gamma rays and the charge build-up in dielectrics due to electron beam irradiation. The scope our work included: development and implementation of: 1) discrete ordinates electron transport calculations for electron sources both within and incident of solid structures; 2) discrete ordinates electron transport calculations for photon sources incident on layered solids; 3) Monte Carlo calculations and statistical analysis programs for low- energy electron transport in insulating structures. In addition, several photon transport calculations were made to determine the scattered photon energy spectra characteristic of various standard irradiation test facilities. Keywords: Electron transport; Coupled electron photon transport; Photon transport; Charge distributions in insulators.
