X-ray photon spectroscopy calculations

X-ray photons - as many other particles - interact with matter producing secondary radiation that carries useful information about the atoms comprising the target. The availability of intense sources of highly monochromatic X-rays and the great improvement in detector technology intensified research in X-ray spectrometry in the last twenty years. New techniques allowed the attenuation coefficients and the physics of the atom to be better known: Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS), X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES), and Inelastic X-ray Scattering Spectroscopy (IXSS). Old techniques, like X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), gained in precision thus extending the horizon of applicability to new elements and energy ranges, and consequently Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and Synchrotron Radiation X-ray Fluorescence (SRXRF) were evolved. Particle induced X-ray emission spectroscopy also benefited from this improvement. The field of application of X-ray pectrometry has grown from atomic, to nuclear, to plasma physics, to astrophysics.
