Formulae are given for absorbed dose, fluence and energy fluence of narrow X-ray beams generated by pulsating-potential X-ray generators with any waveform. A computer program has been written for calculating these and some other quantities, including mean energies, for particular waveforms. A new definition is suggested for the ripple correction factor of pulsating-potential X-ray generators for the assessment of their performance. Some numerical results and applications are discussed.
