Abstract:
An analytical method to compute x-ray spectra from attenuation data utilizing the Laplace transformation has been extended to include characteristic radiation. It is based on an a priori technique of determining the ratio of characteristic radiation exposure to the total radiation exposure in diagnostic spectra. The technique is shown to produce characteristic intensities in good agreement with experimentally determined values.
