RE: Electron beam resources

Marshall Cleland of IBA, formerly with Radiation Dynamics, would be one of the best reference people on this topic. You will find a downloadable list of pertinent publications at

I would also consult ICRU-37 "Stopping Powers of Electrons and Positrons".



Best regards,



Grant

Subject: Electron beam resources





I am searching for a reference source dealing with electron beams.  We have 

an interesting "little" device that will be using a free air electron beam 

for curing composite materials.  I am looking for something that could 

provide information about what the expected travel length would be in air 

for the beam and what to expect for x-ray conversion due to interaction 

with various materials.  Also, how would changes in air pressure affect 

electron travel distance (we can operate it in a atmospheric chamber).
