Application of the Lambert W Function to the Calculation of the Electron Transmission Coefficient and Bremsstrahlung Yield from the Bethe–Heitler Theory
摘要
Abstract
The theory of interaction of electrons with matter (Bethe, Heitler, Bloch) during their multiple scattering (Goudsmit, Saunderson) was used to obtain analytical expressions for the electron transmission coefficient and the bremsstrahlung energy yield. These expressions depend on the material and thickness of the target and the initial kinetic energy of the electron. An analytical expression for the electron range was also obtained with minor simplifications using the Lambert
