Differential cross sections for emission of bremsstrahlung x-rays by relativistic electrons of energy from 10 keV to 10 MeV are calculated and tabulated as a function of incident electron energy, ratio of x-ray energy to electron energy, and angle of x-ray emission to incident electron direction, for nuclei of Z=1 and Z=22. The differential cross-sections integrated over angle and x-ray energy are also presented. From these x-ray spectra, ratios of x-ray transmission through various metal attenuators of several thicknesses and absorption in 1 inch Pilot B scintillators are calculated as a function of electron energy and angle between electron and detector.
