Abstract: The sensitivity of Kodak 101-07 film to 1-keV x-ray photons was measured at extremely different dose rates by using two sources: a laser-produced plasma with nanosecond emission and a CW x-ray source. Whereas almost equal sensitivities were obtained at lower exposures, the γ values and the saturation densities at higher exposures differed in the two cases, showing the existence of reciprocity failure.
