If the luminescence is caused by absorption of some form of radiant energy, such as ultraviolet radiation or X rays (or by some other form of energy, such as mechanical pressure), and ceases as soon as (or very shortly after) the radiation causing it ceases, then it is known as fluorescence ...

Magazine article from: Advanced Materials & Processes In X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometry, a source of X-rays ejects electrons from the inner shells of the atoms of the sample. When an outer shell electron "drops down" to fill the void created in the inner shell, an X-ray characteristic of that atom is emitted. This process is called "fluorescence."
