Soft x-ray vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopy (10--600 eV) has been used to study relativistic electron beam energy deposition in 6-..mu..m Au foils mounted in two different anode geometries. Experimentally determined thermal electron temperatures of 173 eV and 306 eV are in agreement with calculations assuming electron energy deposition rates of 5 x 10/sup 13/ W/g and 10/sup 14/ W/g for the two geometries. These results are consistent with electrons multipassing through the thin foils several times.
