The return of backscattered electrons to an x‐ray tube anode with a grounded cathode leads to appreciable modification of the spectral distribution of the emitted radiation. Results of calculations performed by taking into account the influence of backscattered electrons were compared with published experimental data. The comparison showed reasonably good agreement. The spectral distribution of radiation from an OEG‐75 H x‐ray tube with a grounded cathode, which is used in ARL spectrometers, was calculated. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
