Spectrometry of Kα radiation emitted during the interaction of an intense particle beam with matter is proposed as a diagnostic. Temperature measurement is possible through the detailed analysis of the Kα satellite spectrum. The role of line self-absorption for this and other Kα measurements is discussed. The feasibility of such measurements is demonstrated in an electron beam-target interaction experiment.
