Abstract

Absolute energy spectra were measured for thick-target bremsstrahlung produced by incident electrons in the energy range of from 5.3 to 20.9 MeV. To obtain these spectra, a 0.2 radiation-length gold-tungsten target was bombarded by electrons from the EG&G/AEC linac, and the bremsstrahlung emitted in the forward (zero-degree) direction was measured by use of a technique based on deuteron photodisintegration. Apparatus and experimental techniques are described, and absolute spectra are given for electron energies of 5.3, 6.8, 8.0, 10.0, 12.0, 14.0, 16.4, 18.0 and 20.9 MeV.
