Abstract
The bremsstrahlung of electrons from thick converters and its passage through concrete shielding of accelerators at different angles to the axis of the electron beam were calculated using GEANT4. Numerical estimates of the
residual low-energy component of X-ray radiation after passing through the biological protection were carried out
at an electron energy of up to 300 MeV. Additional reasons for the possible appearance of soft X-ray radiation
after the shielding are considered.
