N2 - Bremsstrahlung production cross sections have been calculated as a function of target and angle for electrons in the energy range 0.1-10 MeV. Used in conjunction with the corresponding K and L X-ray production cross sections and nonfundamental experimental quantities (detector resolution and ambient background), they allow determination of the theoretical detection limit using K or L X-ray emission induced by direct electron beam excitation.
