Abstract
The build-up of external bremsstrahlung (EB) intensity as a function o f target thickness was studied. The conventional beta stopper techniqu e is employed. Targets of Al, Cu, Cd and Pb were used to investigate t he build-up of EB by low and medium end point energies of Tc-99 and Tl -204 beta emitters, respectively. The experimental values show good ag reement with the calculated ones in the entire range of target thickne ss in all cases for both beta emitters.
