Question about X-ray power emitted by the Coolidge tube

Click For Summary
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.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of X-ray generation principles
  • Familiarity with Coolidge tube operation
  • Knowledge of bremsstrahlung radiation
  • Basic grasp of energy spectrum analysis
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Kramers law for bremsstrahlung in detail
  • Explore the mathematical derivation of the energy spectrum for X-rays
  • Study the operational principles of Coolidge tubes
  • Investigate applications of X-ray emission in medical imaging
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in physics, radiology technicians, and anyone interested in the theoretical aspects of X-ray generation and emission characteristics.

hello i found this equation in a course about x rays , and i couldn't find it anywhere else
they said that it is the theoretical expression of the energy spectrum , and dφ/dE is variation of the power emitted by the Coolidge tube as a function of the energy of the x ray. but i didn't understand it .
can someone point me to another source, where i can find this expression ?
thanks !
