Extract

Relations are derived between the dose in r./min. delivered by the γ-ray beam from a betasynchrotron and the mean electron current which is incident on the internal target. Comparison with experiment shows that multiple passage of electrons through the target probably plays an important part in production of the γ-ray beam. Some possible effects connected with the multiple passage of electrons are discussed.
