Measuring the Spectral Composition of X-ray Pulses from a Plasma Using a Compact Spectrometer Based on Thermoluminescent Detector Arrays

Аннотация

A single-channel compact (ø5 × 10 mm) noise-immune spectrometer has been developed for measuring X-ray spectra of micropinch-discharge plasma in the energy range of 1−25 keV using the filter method. The spectrometer is based on an array of lithium fluoride LiF thermoluminescent detectors placed in series, which are also used as filters for X-ray spectrum selection.
