"With breadth and depth, this insightful book provides a comprehensive survey of x-ray physics and x-ray optics. It fills a void in the pedagogy of x-ray physics, and will serve as an excellent reference for medical and x-ray physicists for many years to come."--Andrew Maidment, University of Pennsylvania"An Introduction to X-ray Physics, Optics, and Applications presents an excellent overview of the basics of x-ray radiation and its generation in state-of-the-art laboratories, synchrotrons, and x-ray free electron lasers. Through a broad range of x-ray concepts, from the photoelectric effect to x-ray diffraction, the fundamentals of interaction mechanisms with matter are explained in detail. Students and instructors will find this book useful and informative."--Simone Techert, Deutsches Elektronensynchrotron (DESY)"This excellent addition to the literature on modern x-ray usage will be a valuable aid to students and professional researchers. It covers the basic physics of x-ray generation and interactions with matter and includes many practical applications of current interest as well as excellent diagrams and photos in every chapter. All major sources of x-rays, optics, coherence, spectroscopy, and diffractions are explained clearly."--David Attwood, University of California, Berkeley"Offering summary formulae on a great number of topics, students will find this book handy. It focuses on x-ray optics and imaging technologies and does a nice job of providing example problems and their solutions."--Chris Jacobsen, Northwestern University"Covering a broad range of topics, from x-ray scattering and spectroscopy to detectors and x-ray optics, this textbook will serve as a useful reference for students and researchers."--Aaron M. Lindenberg, Stanford University
