Extract

We have developed an algorithm for calculating the x-ray tube continuum based on the eqidistribution proposed by Love and Scott, extended the description of white and characteristic radiation given by Wiederschwinger et al for the energy range 10 to 50 keV to the low energy range from 5 to 30 keV, and compared the results from this algorithm to those responses obtained from algorithms using the absorption correction of Pochou and Pichoir, Philibert, Sewell and Pella. The comparison to other models showed a significandy better performance by our model.
