Abstract
In X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, a photon beam is focused on the sample to induce the production of characteristic radiation carrying useful information on the composition of the target. Even if the interpretation of the measurement is simple, the quantification of the total emitted intensity is not straightforward because the primary photons are produced deep in the target and the radiation reaching the detector can be sensibly modified by the interactions which the photons undergo before leaving the specimen. In this work we show that the geometry of the system plays an important role in determining the properties of the radiation field. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
