By using the approximate relationships of Kirkpatrick and Weidmann (Phys. Rev. 67, 321(1945) for bremsstrahlung intensities, numerical calculations were made on the IBM 650 at the Avco-Everett Research Laboratory for a fully ionized, fully dissociated hydrogenic gas. The intensities are given in terms of a quantity having the units ergs/sec/unit frequency interval/steradian/cm/sup 3/ as a function of hv, (from 0.5 to 4.0 ev) and kT (from 4 to 200 ev). A calibration method was devised for measurement of absolute bremsstrahlung intensities which continually compensates for the errors present in most calibration procedures. (auth)
