DOSECALCX, A Bremsstrahlung Radiation Dose Code for Electron Beam Targets
- Los Alamos National Lab. (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) Facility is a two-axis, linear induction electron accelerator designed to produce Bremsstrahlung radiation for imaging hydrodynamic physics within rapidly compressed targets. The radiation dose code DOSECALC, used to obtain approximate results for experiments, was modified to include new materials and renamed DOSECALCX. Calculations were compared with results from the MCNP code. Photon spectra was found to agree visibly and quantitatively while angular dose data was only comparable within an order of magnitude.
