SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the theoretical expression of the energy spectrum related to the power emitted by the Coolidge tube, specifically focusing on the variation of power (dφ/dE) as a function of X-ray energy. Participants recommend researching Kramers law or Kramers rule for bremsstrahlung to gain a deeper understanding of this concept. These laws are essential for comprehending the emission characteristics of X-rays generated by Coolidge tubes. The inquiry highlights a gap in readily available resources for this specific equation.
