Title: Production of Electron Pairs in Thick Converters for Primary Electron Energies Between 30 AND 200 Mev. Numerical Calculation with the Monte Carlo Method; PRODUZIONE DI COPPIE DI ELETTRONI IN CONVERTITORI SPESSI PER ENERGIE DI ELETTRONI PRIMARI TRA 30 E 200 Mev. CALCOLO NUMERICO COL METODO MONTECARLO

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4677984

The optimum conditions for the positron beam at the exit of the converter were calculated by varying the energy of the electron beam on the target. The target thickness was assumed to be between 0.4 and 2 radiation lengths. The physical processes occurring and the criteria for the calculation are described. The formulas used are given, and the approximations introduced in the formulas are analyzed. The block diagram of the iterative method used in the calculation is presented. (J.S.R.)
