Abstract
An investigation into the appropriate materials for use as a diffuser foil in electron radiography was undertaken in GEANT4. Simulations were run using various refractory materials to determine a material of appropriate Z number such that energy loss is minimal. The plotted results of angular spread and energy spread are shown. It is concluded that higher Z number materials such as tungsten, tantalum, platinum or uranium could be used as diffuser materials. Also, an investigation into the handling of bremsstrahlung, multiple coulomb scattering, and ionization in GEANT4 was performed.
