ComponentModel of a laboratory x-ray tube, generating x-rays by bombarding a target by electrons. Given a input energy E0 of the electron beam, x-rays are emitted from the accessible emission lines The geometry of the tube is assumed to be: # The electron beam hits a slab of surface material surface at a right angle illuminating an area of width by height, # where width is measured along the component X-axis. # The centre of the electron beam at the anode surface is the origin of the component. # The Z-axis of the component points at the centre of the exit window (focus_xw by focus yh) placed at a distance dist from the origin. # The angle between the Z-axis and the anode surface is the take_off angle. For a detailed sketch of the geometry see the componnent manual. The Bremsstrahlung emitted is modelled using the model of Kramer (1923) as restated in International Tables of Crystallography C 4.1 Characteristic radiation is modelled by Lorentzian (default) or Gaussian energy profiles with line-energies from Bearden (1967), widths from Krause (1979) and intensity from Honkimäki (1990) and x-ray data booklet. Absoprtion of emitted x-rays while travelling through the target anode is included. The reference point of the component is the centre of the electron beam hitting the anode, with the optical'axis pointing towards the centre of the exit window (focus_xw,focus_yh). Users preferring the legacy behaviour with the reference point in the exit window, may set the parameter exit_window_refpt. Example: Source_lab(material_datafile="Cu.txt",Emin=1, E0=80)
