DETERMINING THE INSTANTANEOUS EFFECTIVE ENERGY OF X-RAY TUBE BREMSSTRAHLUNG

摘要

A method is described for determining the instantaneous effective energy of x-ray tube brehmsstrahlung by means of two semiconductor detectors employing epitaxial GaAs structures and a measurement circuit, which together determine the effective energy with an error of 5% in the range 20-80 keV in the presence of nonlinearity in the detector response.
