The mean angle of incidence at the beam stop of a 60 KA, 7 MV annular electron beam, in the 20 kg guide field of the MABE accelerator, is determined. Radiation measured in TLD arrays mounted downstream of the stop is compared with the radiation expected using a CYLTRAN Monte Carlo simulation of the electron/photon transport in the stop as a function of incident angles and energies. All radiation profiles measured are well fit, if the electrons are assumed to be incident with a polar angle theta of 15/sup 0/ +- 2/sup 0/. Comparing theta with that expected from the Adler-Miller model, and a MAGIC code simulation of beam behavior at the stop enables the mean transverse beam velocity to be estimated.
