X Rays > s.a. X-ray astronomy.
* Idea: Energetic photons, usually coming
from electronic transitions to deep-lying atomic levels, with energies in the KeV range.
* History: Discovered by Röntgen in 1895.
* Applications: Crystallography by
X-ray diffraction (Bragg scattering); Medical imaging; Astronomy and astrophysics.
