Abstract
Bremsstrahlung radiation, a pivotal phenomenon in high-energy physics, presents numerous applications and implications in both theoretical studies and practical scenarios. This article explores the Bremsstrahlung radiation of electrons in tungsten (W) targets of varying widths subjected to different energy beams using GEANT4 simulations. By systematically altering the target widths and electron beam energies, we assess the corresponding effects on radiation yield and spectrum. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of Bremsstrahlung processes in high-$Z$ materials and offer valuable insights for applications ranging from radiation therapy to materials analysis.
