What is X-ray Spectrum

Most of the X-ray output of rotating anode sources has a continuous energy range that extends up to a value, Emax that, measured in electron volts, is equal to the acceleration voltage applied to the tube.. This Bremsstrahlung ("braking radiation") arises from the accelerations suffered by the electrons during collision with the atoms of the anode, then that is the X-ray spectrum, superimposed on the Bremsstrahlung background there are intense narrow line emissions that are characteristic of the material of the anode. These characteristic lines are important for crystallography but since they amount to only a few percent of the total X-ray output they are of little radiological importance. For the radiation during this whole process, tungsten alloy shielding will be the ideal material for radiation protection, for more details, you could visit our website: http://www.tungsten-alloy.com/X-ray-target-collimator.htm.
