The production of characteristic X-rays by electronic impact

  • L. H. Thomas (a1)
Extract

Rosseland proposed a theory of the production of characteristic X-rays. He calculated the number of atoms from which on the average an electron with definite energy will remove an electron from a particular core orbit, but neglected the velocity of the core electron in its orbit and the increased velocity of the impinging electron due to the atomic field. Taking these into account considerably alters his formula.
