If the electrical potential is not sufficient to accelerate them to

I'll go along with that, more or less.

Current is equally important.

No it isn't.

Current is irrelevant to the mechanism of X-ray production.


Come on chaps, you are arguing about two different things - the
electron energy needed to generate electrons at all, and the total
energy generated by a beam of electrons (of sufficient individual h *
nu type energy). Beam current determines the power of the x-ray beam
generated, and hence the energy in that beam.

I know but Iveson has it upside down. Of course current determines the ultimate
power but there's no 'current threshold' for X-ray production.

Just read his posts, and he hasn't claimed one.

So what's this then ?

A reference to factors which determine the amount of heat the anode
needs to dissipate. Looks just fine to me.
