Penetration of electrons and associated bremsstrahlung through aluminum targets

This paper contains a brief description of Monte Carlo programs designed to calculate the transport of fast electrons and associated bremsstrahlung through extended media. Two applications are discussed: (1) transmission of electrons through plane-parallel targets, and (2) emergence of secondary bremsstrahlung from such targets. It is shown that the predicted results are in reasonably good agreement with recent experiments for electron beams with energies up to 8 MeV incident normally on aluminum targets. Extensive new calculated data for transmission and thick-target bremsstrahlung production are presented for aluminum targets exposed to an isotropic electron flux.
