This document discusses a thesis project that aims to evaluate the radiation hardness of sensor materials for use in the proposed International Linear Collider beamline calorimeter (BeamCal). The author performs Monte Carlo simulations to estimate the shower conversion factor α, which quantifies the mean radiation fluence at a sensor per incident electron, as a function of electron energy. Analysis of the simulation data provides fluence distribution profiles that decrease radially from the center of the irradiated sensor area. The author accounts for sensor rastering across the electron beam, which provides even illumination over a 2 cm area. Observations from the simulations indicate the radiation fluence is linearly dependent on the incident electron energy.
