X-ray Imaging with Anstegrom Wavelengths

AI Thread Summary
X-ray imaging utilizing angstrom wavelengths is primarily beneficial for crystal diffraction studies, allowing for detailed analysis of material structures. The X-ray spectrum typically peaks at 60 keV, with a secondary peak around 68 keV, which is relevant for optimizing imaging techniques. Most X-ray machines employ a tungsten target, enhancing the efficiency of X-ray production. Resources for further study include various educational websites that provide in-depth information on X-ray physics and applications. Understanding these principles is crucial for advancements in imaging technology.

What's the use of X-ray with angestrom wavelengh in imaging? Do you know of any good source to study more about that?

Crystal diffraction !
 
Thank you Astro& vanesch!:smile:
 
Hello, I'm currently trying to compare theoretical results with an MCNP simulation. I'm using two discrete sets of data, intensity (probability) and linear attenuation coefficient, both functions of energy, to produce an attenuated energy spectrum after x-rays have passed through a thin layer of lead. I've been running through the calculations and I'm getting a higher average attenuated energy (~74 keV) than initial average energy (~33 keV). My guess is I'm doing something wrong somewhere...
