Description
This lesson aims to explain how radiation, resulting from lepton beam interactions, with a specific focus on electron and positron beams interacting with electromagnetic fields and nuclei, propagates. Comparisons are provided to contrast electron and proton beam phenomena. Microscopic and macroscopic interactions are described, highlighting essential parameters. Understanding these fundamentals aids efficient facility design and Monte Carlo code utilization. This is the first part of the lesson, which focuses on how fields develop and propagate.
