⟩ What is focal spot?

The section of the target at which radiation is produced. The smaller the focal spot, the sharper the field produced (very defined penumbra), however the smaller the focal spot also means the hotter the target material gets and can cause damage. Therefore, a compromise must be struck between sharper fields and adequate and reasonable heat loading of the target.
