Abstract :
The specialized Monte Carlo code X-GENERATOR which optimizes design of high intensity X-ray producing equipment employing magnetically confined electron beams was developed for Win32, i.e., for operating systems of Windows 95, 98 and Windows NT 4.0, 4.5. X-GENERATOR implements Class II of the Monte Carlo scheme of electron transport and the conventional scheme of photon transport simulation. The X-GENERATOR package is designed to provide maximum convenience for the user and aims at the most efficient modeling of electron beams in experimental physics. The package has an advanced intuitive user interface with visualization of processes and evaluating model parameters for Monte Carlo simulation. The X-GENERATOR package is designed specifically for the user that does not have an extensive background in Monte Carlo simulation. The results of simulation were verified by experiments utilizing a high power electron accelerator
