Lead shielding for electrons

Abstract
Using a 13 MeV electron beam as an example, transmission curves for various thicknesses of lead were measured. The data indicated that the choice of shielding thickness depends greatly on the depth at which the measurements are made. The importance of this reference depth and criteria for shield design when shields of minimum thickness are required is discussed.
