Abstract

Measurements are performed to study the electron impact energy dependence of doubly differential bremsstrahlung yields (DDBY) and of characteristic Ti Kα line yields produced from sub-relativistic electrons (10–25keV) colliding with a thick Ti (Z=22) target. The emitted radiation is detected by a Si-PIN photo-diode detector with energy resolution (FWHM) of 180eV at 5.9keV. The measured data of DDBY are compared with the results predicted by Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations using the general purpose PENELOPE code. A reasonable agreement is found between experimental and simulation results within the experimental uncertainty of measurements of 12%. Characteristic Ti Kα yields are obtained for the considered impact energy range and they are compared with the existing theoretical results. A good agreement is found between the present measurements and the theoretical calculations. Furthermore, data are presented for impact energy dependence of the ratio Kα/(Kα+Kβ) of a thick Ti target under impact of 10–25keV electrons. The ratio shows a very weak dependence on impact energy in the studied range. The average value of the ratio is found to be 0.881±0.003.
