Astronuc replied to the thread High School High energy bremsstrahlung production in non vacuum environments.Where is one finding the pressure (torr) values? ~3 x 10^-28 Torr is too low for a lab vacuum. Ultrahgh vacuum (UHV) is considered... -
Astronuc replied to the thread High School High energy bremsstrahlung production in non vacuum environments.Not quite. Electrons used to generate bremsstrahlung photons are accelerated in a vacuum from a source to a target. The electrons... -
Astronuc replied to the thread High School High energy bremsstrahlung production in non vacuum environments.Not quite; it is not unsafe, unless proper shielding is excluded. There are two factors: 1) accelerating charged particle in a gas... -
Astronuc replied to the thread High School High energy bremsstrahlung production in non vacuum environments.There are electron accelerators used to generate photons in the MeV range. Within the accelerators, the electrons travel in a vacuum... -
