Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a method for identifying at least one valuable document under test, a device, and a sorting machine. The method comprises or consists of the steps irradiating at least a portion of the valuable document under test with a wide band X-ray beam, detecting at least one or more electric signal pulses corresponding to photons emitted by the valuable document under test in response to the irradiation using the wide band X-ray beam, and evaluating the detected electric signal pulses in order to identify the valuable document under test as being genuine or not and/or as being of a particular sort or not.
