Extract

We have developed an algorithm for calculating the x-ray tube continuum based on the depth distribution function (DDF) proposed by Pochou and Pichoir, extended the description of white and characteristic radiation given by Wiederschwinger et al. to the low energy range from 5 to 30 keV and compared the results frorn these algorithms to the signals obtained from algorithms using the absorption correction of Philibert and of Sewell et al. Preceding calculations the measured spectra were separated into characteristic peak spectra and into the corresponding white spectra, where the background below the peak areas was numerically interpolated.
