Energy determination of synchrotron X-ray beam energy in the high energy region of 38–50 keV using powder diffraction patterns of the standard powder Si640b
نویسندگان
چکیده
Powder diffraction patterns from SRM Si640b are used to calibrate the energy scale for two experiments using a monochromated synchrotron X-ray beam in the high energy region 38–50 keV. The energy of the beam is determined to accuracies between 0.0007% and 0.07% of the beam energy. Uncertainties in the energy scale are reduced by correcting for the zero offset angle of the monochromator crystal. Corrections of between 150 and 50 eV are applied to the nominal beam energy. It is shown that systematic errors arising from the misalignment of the monochromator can lead to large systematic shifts in the beam energy. & 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Precise measurement of the lattice spacing of LaB6 standard powder by the x-ray extended range technique using synchrotron radiation
We used the basis of the x-ray extended range technique to measure the lattice spacing of LaB6 standard powder samples relative to silicon 640b standard powder samples with an accuracy of 5310−5 Å. Measurements were not constrained to one energy but were carried out over a 5 keV–20 keV energy range. These measurements used powder diffraction to determine the synchrotron beam energy, to diagnose...
متن کاملBeamline P02.1 at PETRA III for high-resolution and high-energy powder diffraction
Powder X-ray diffraction techniques largely benefit from the superior beam quality provided by high-brilliance synchrotron light sources in terms of photon flux and angular resolution. The High Resolution Powder Diffraction Beamline P02.1 at the storage ring PETRA III (DESY, Hamburg, Germany) combines these strengths with the power of high-energy X-rays for materials research. The beamline is o...
متن کاملAccurate determination of X-ray energies using powder diffraction
We report synchrotron energy determinations using the powder diffraction patterns of Si (640b) and LaB6 (660) standard reference powders at a number of energies between 5 and 20 keV. The fitted peak positions of all peaks recorded on image plates were used in each energy determination. Several sources of systematic error were investigated and their connection led to physically reasonable and co...
متن کاملHigh resolution three-dimensional visualization and characterization of coronary atherosclerosis in vitro by synchrotron radiation x-ray microtomography and highly localized x-ray diffraction.
Human atherosclerotic plaques in both native and bypass arteries have been visualized using microtomography to provide additional information on the nature of coronary artery disease. Plaques contained within arteries removed from three white males aged 51, 55 and 70 are imaged in three-dimensions with monochromatic synchrotron x-ray radiation. Fields of view are 658 x 658 x 517 voxels. with cu...
متن کاملShielding simulations for safe use of curtain electron accelerator by MCNP4C
In an electron curtain accelerator, when the electron beam passes through the titanium exit window of the accelerator chamber, X-ray photons are produced as a negative by-product of retarding accelerated electrons. Controlling the produced X-ray photons to avoid their detrimental effects or in fact, proper shielding of the accelerator is an important issue that has to be considered in the use o...
