Abstract
Purpose
This paper presents the development and implementation of a microtron-based setup for solid-state sample irradiation.
Methods
The fabrication of microtron components that extract 6 MeV electrons is detailed, enabling detailed studies of energy-dependent radiation effects.
Results
Experimental findings have led to a precise map** of accelerated electron flux density, and subsequently, the establishment of uniform irradiation zones and real-time dose absorption control. Titanium carbide samples were irradiated using the bremsstrahlung of electrons from the microtron.
Conclusion
Calculations of absorbed doses from an extended bremsstrahlung source were conducted, considering key factors such as sample geometry and physical properties.

From graph 25 in [19], for tungsten, \(K \approx 0.7\) for E0 = 6 MeV and \(K \approx 0.75\) for E0 = 10 MeV.
