Bremsstrahlung

Structure used to define parameters for production of multigroup bremsstrahlung cross-sections.

Mandatory field(s)

• N/A

Optional field(s) - with default values

• interaction_types::Dict{Tuple{DataType,DataType},Vector{String}} = Dict((Electron,Electron) => ["S"],(Electron,Photon) => ["P"],(Positron,Positron) => ["S"],(Positron,Photon) => ["P"]) : Dictionary of the interaction processes types, of the form (incident particle,outgoing particle) => associated list of interaction type, which values correspond:
  • (Electron,Electron) => ["S"] : scattering of incident electron following Bremsstrahlung interaction.
  • (Electron,Photon) => ["P"] : produced photon following Bremsstrahlung interaction by incident electron.
  • (Positron,Positron) => ["S"] : scattering of incident positron following Bremsstrahlung interaction.
  • (Positron,Photon) => ["P"] : produced photon following Bremsstrahlung interaction by incident positron.
• angular_scattering_type::String=modified_dipole : type of angular scattering, which can takes the following values:
  • angular_scattering_type = modified_dipole : modified dipôle distribution, based on Poskus (2019) shape functions.
  • angular_scattering_type = sommerfield : Sommerfield distribution.

set_interaction_types(this::Bremsstrahlung,interaction_types::Dict{Tuple{DataType,DataType},Vector{String}})

To define the interaction types for bremsstrahlung processes.
