Notes:
Representative production cross-sections for bremsstrahlung, which constitutes an unavoidable spectral background in an X-ray analysis using electron beam excitation, have been calculated as a function of target and angle for incident electrons in the energy range 0.2 - 10 MeV. These values, used in conjunction with the corresponding K X-ray production cross-sections and non-fundamental experimental variables particular to each laboratory (detector resolution and ambient background), determine the feasibility of a K X-ray analysis by direct electron beam excitation, and permit the evaluation of an ideal detection limit.
