Looking for Freeware to Generate X-Ray Spectra? Check Out These Options!

[big man]

Hi there,

Was just wondering if anyone knew of any good freeware for generating X-ray spectra from a standard Tungsten anode that you might see in medical radiography? Would be good if it could export data as well, but yeah and just wanting something that can potentially generate the spectra given different filtration and tube potentials.

Another option might be to go the full Monte Carlo route. BEAMnrc, for example has modules for kV radiographic sources. I imagine most of the other freely available codes such as GEANT4, MCNP, PENELOPE, etc. have something similar. There's a learning curve to climb with any of these, so it will depend on how much time you want to invest, but they'll give you the most flexibility in describing your source.
