[Lipowitz metal as attenuating material for electron rays with an energy of 3 to 45 MeV (author's transl)].

Shielding blocks made of lipowitz metal are used for electron irradiation with irregularly shaped fields. Depending on the thickness of the block, the attenuation of electrons with an energy of 3 to 45 MeV produced by an Asklepitron 45 was examined at the surface and at the depth dose maximum. The necessary thickness of the shielding blocks made of Lipowitz metal in order to achieve a defined attenuation depends largely on the electron energy.
