Abstract
The space distribution of energy dissipated by betatron x-rays results from the combined propagation of the x-rays and of their secondary electrons. This distribution has been calculated for a 40-Mev bremsstrahlung spectrum incident on a mass of water. The calculation is described and the results are compared with related experiments.
