X-ray Source Characterization

X-Ray Source Characterization is a systematic methodology used in x-ray detection research to identify and quantify the physical properties, spatial distribution, intensity, and energy spectrum of an x-ray source, thereby distinguishing it from other detection or imaging processes by focusing specifically on the intrinsic attributes and operational parameters of the source itself.
