Abstract :
X-ray (bremsstrahlung) produced by high-power electron accelerators are intensively used in different radiation technologies. An electron accelerator, a scanner, an X-ray converter with cooling system, a conveyor line or a turntable chamber, an irradiated product and a package are the major components of the radiation technological lines (RTL) for X-ray irradiator. The detailed physical and geometrical models of the X-ray irradiator were realized in the form of new mathematical software of the "XR-Soft". The program XR-Soft was designed specially for simulation of industrial radiation processes and calculation of the absorbed dose and temperature distribution within products irradiated by scanning X-ray beams on industrial RTL that is based on the pulsed or continuous type of electron accelerators in the energy range from 0.1 to 50 MeV. The motivation for the development of the program XR-Soft is the creation of accurate and easily accessible tool for prediction of the absorbed dose distribution within irradiated materials, for optimization of the irradiation regimes of radiation facility, and for reducing of experimental routine dosimetric measurements in X-ray processing.
