Micro-focus-x-ray-spectrum-generator

A reference x-ray spectrum generator for a microfocus source with tungsten-anode spectral model using interpolating polynomials (TASMIP).

Description

This spectrum generator can be used to simulate x-ray beam transmission properties for different maximum excitation energies and different beam filteration elements. The transmission properties are modelled using the Beer-Lambert attenuation law for parallel beam geometry.

Future Extensions

• Addition of data tables for different x-ray tubes.

• Addition of cone beam attenuation geometry.
