Abstract :
We show experimentally and theoretically that the generation of the 13-TW Hermes III electron beam can be accurately monitored, and that the beam can be accurately directed onto a high-Z target to produce a wide variety of bremsstrahlung patterns. This control allows the study of radiation effects induced by gamma rays to be extended into new parameter regimes. Finally, we show that the beam can be stably transported in low-pressure gas cells.
