xray_beam_quality — TOMOGRAPHY spectral_xray op

• Data kinds: pairs → table

• Call: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.xray_beam_quality(spectrum, material: 'str' = 'AL') -> 'dict' (to call the implementation directly, import dualxray; dualxray.xray_beam_quality(spectrum, material: 'str' = 'AL') -> 'dict'; from the registry, opstomography.get("xray_beam_quality"))

Usage

Beam quality of a spectrum: first and second half-value layers, homogeneity coefficient, mean energy and effective energy.

半価層は空気カーマが半分になる吸収体の厚さ(線量計で測る量の定義どおり):

K(x) ∝ Σ φ(E) E (μ_en/ρ)_air(E) e^{−μ(E) x}。HVL₁ は K(x) = K(0)/2、HVL₂ は K(x) = K(0)/4 から HVL₁ を引いたもの、均等度 = HVL₁/HVL₂(単色なら 1)。実効エネルギーは単色で同じ HVL₁ を与えるエネルギー(μ(E_eff) = ln 2/HVL₁)。material は吸収体(既定 Al、Cu も使う)。

返り値: dict(hvl1_mm, hvl2_mm, homogeneity, mean_energy_kev(光子数の平均), effective_energy_kev, material)。公表の線質(IEC 61267 の RQA 系列など)と比べる量。
