Abstract

Abstract

Fused silica and KBr samples were irradiated with a 2.7 MeV electron beam. The emission of fused silica and KBr samples in the UV and visible regions was studied under various experimental conditions. Numerical simulation of optical emission was carried out using the GEANT4 computer platform. Simulations of energy spectra and angular distributions of the beam electrons were performed for different target thicknesses. The results reveal the effect of scattering of the beam electrons on the angular distribution of Cherenkov radiation in fused silica samples with thicknesses exceeding the electron path length.
