Abstract

A semiempirical model for generating tungsten target x‐ray spectra is presented. This model extends earlier work in two significant areas. First, both bremsstrahlung and characteristic x‐ray production are assumed to occur at varying depths within the target. Second, optimal parameters for the model were determined from experimental spectra utilizing nonlinear least‐squares techniques. As a result, good agreement is obtained between calculated and measured x‐ray tube spectra and output for different target angles and a wide range of x‐ray tube potentials. Such is not the case with previously published models.
