Photoneutron yield for an electron beam on tantalum and erbium deuteride

An electron beam may be used to generate bremsstrahlung photons that go on to create photoneutrons within metals. This serves as a low-energy neutron source for irradiation experiments. In this article, we present simulation results for optimizing photoneutron yield for a 10-MeV electron beam on tan...
