Investigation into the mechanisms of X-ray generation during the interaction between relativistic electrons and a medium by means of the Röntgen-1 setup

The Röntgen-1 setup which is intended for use in investigating the spectral-angular characteristics of X-rays generated due to the interaction between a 7-MeV electron beam and substances, including different shaped surfaces, is described. The setup is distinguished by a low radiation background, enabling the determination of low-intensity radiation spectra. The results of measuring the characteristics of the polarized bremsstrahlung of relativistic electrons from media with different atomic structures are presented.
