Preprint: Bremsstrahlung tungsten-multitarget refocusing - Heisenberg-Euler scatter
Scientific paper
The yield of bremsstrahlung from collisions of fast electrons (energy at least 6 MeV) with a tungsten target can be significantly improved by exploitation of Tungsten wall scatter in a multi-layered target. The Tungsten wall can serve to refocuse small angle scattered electrons. It is necessary that the thickness of one Tungsten layer does not exceed 0.02 mm. Further refocusing of electrons results from suitable magnetic fields with field strength between 0.5 Tesla and 6 Tesla (if the cone with multi-layered targets is rather narrow). Linear accelerators in radiation therapy only need refocusing by wall scatter without further magnetic fields (standard case: ca. 100 - 000 plates with 0.01 mm thickness and 1 mm distance between the plates). The construction of a very narrow bremsstrahlung beam with extremely high photon intensity requires an additional strong magnetic field (order 1 - 6 Tesla), which provides the possibility to check Heisenberg-Euler scatter of high energy photons.
