The x-ray spectra produced by the bombardment of thick targets with monoenergetic electrons between 10 and 30 keV have been determined as a function of the incident and emission angles. Spectra have been obtained for Al, Cu, Mo, and W using a Si(Li) detector. The electron current absorbed in the target was measured and corrected for backscattering, allowing a determination of absolute x-ray emission. A modified least-squares procedure was used to represent the spectra as analytical functions while taking into account the efficiency and resolution of the detector. The spectra show the effects of both target absorption and angular distribution of the thin-target bremsstrahlung production. Agreement with the Kramers formula is only moderate.
