Braking radiation „Bremsstrahlung“ (1)
Means braking or slowing of electrons
Is the interaction between incident electrons and the force
field of the target atom nucleus
X-ray photons are formed when the incident electrons are
slowed down and release the energy being lost
The photon energy of a Bremsstrahlung X-ray is
determined by
The distance from the target nucleus
The closer the incident electron is to the nucleus,
the stronger the interaction and
the higher energy photons are created
The initial speed (kinetic energy)
of the incident electron
The beam spectrum is heterogeneous
