Can Glory Phenomena Be Observed in X-Rays?

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of seeing optical phenomena called glory in X-rays. It is mentioned that X-rays refract in different directions than visible light and that colors cannot be perceived in X-rays. The idea of a rainbow in X-rays is also brought up, wondering if it is possible to see a similar phenomenon when simulating X-ray passage through different materials.

TL;DR Summary
About optical phenomena and if that phenomena is replicable in higher frequencies than visual light
Hello all:
I was looking on the internet for some optical phenomena called glory , and start to wonder can we see the same phenomena in x-rays , dose this phenomena effect the x-rays impulse , not talking about Compton scattering

Electromagnetic waves (including X-rays ) will refract when passing between dissimilar materials. I tried some searching on X-ray refraction, and it appears X-rays refract in different directions than visible light. colors are something we perceive from different wavelengths, so I don't think any "rainbow" of different X-rays could not be "seen".

The idea of rainbow in xray is like the visible light , you have spectrum of electromagnetic radiation in the X ray region when it is passing into matter should be reflected refracted and detracted , if it is two matrial with different densities could we see some thing similar i don't mean on the detector but when we simulate it ,could we see a phenomena like that inside a solid layer
