Abstract
Summary form only given. The manner in which the dose produced from any given electron beam scales with voltage is very important in determining suitable diode and driver combinations for the Hydrodynamic Research Facility (HRF). The dose is a function of electron energy, angle, converter material and geometry, number of electrons and any filtering material in the problem. MCNP/sup TM/ has been used to model several geometric configurations in order to develop scaling laws that depend on machine voltage, total charge and electron distribution.
