متن کاملX-Ray Physics or: How I Came to Stop Worrying and Love the Amersham
The bremsstrahlung high-energy cutoff of strontium and yttrium decay processes is determined to be 2306 ± 37 keV. The linear relation of Moseley’s law for X-ray fluorescence is verified using rubidium, molybdenum, silver, barium, and terbium targets. The fluorescent X-ray emission energies of other known targets are also verified to generally within 3 standard errors for under 0.6% relative err...
