The x-ray spectrum from a 2 Mvp resonant transformer generator was determined by the method of attenuation analysis. Spectra are presented without an added filter and for an added filter of 5 mm lead. The experimental spectrum is compared with spectra produced by constant potential generators a t 1.4 and 2.0 Mv and measured by different means. The experimental spectrum is also compared with the Kulenkampff-Kramers model for thick target bremsstrahlung from monoenergetic electron beams, and is seen to resemble closely that predicted by the model for a constant potential generator excited at 1.8 Mv.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
