Abstract

Based on the theory of the interaction of electrons with matter (Bethe, Heitler, Bloch) during their multiple scattering (Goudsmit, Saunderson), analytical expressions were obtained for the electron transmission coefficient and the energy yield of bremsstrahlung. 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 insignificant simplifications, using the Lambert-function.
