Abstract:The photon flux of the synchrotron radiation hard X-rays was measured in Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF) using a free-air ionization chamber. Absolute air-kerma can be obtained with the free-air ionization chamber. The photon flux was calculated based on the relation between air-kerma and flux in the fundamental quantities and units for ionizing radiation. Because the photon flux changes over time during the measurement, an online monitoring system was applied, and the uncertainty of which is 0.03%. The air attenuation correction factor and ion recombination correction factor were measured at 15 keV synchrotron radiation X-rays. The measurement results show that the absolute air-kerma rate at 15 keV synchrotron radiation X-rays is 0.239 Gy/s, accordingly, the photon flux of the source is 5.28×109 photons/s, the relative uncertainty is 0.68%.

Abstract:In order to achieve high spatial resolution and narrow spectral bandwidth imaging of laser plasma in updated SG-Ⅱ laser facility, the relations of the imaging quality of spherically bent crystal with image distance, Bragg angle and backlit size were discussed. First, spherically bent crystal imaging at diverse image distances, Bragg angles and backlit sizes were studied with a ray tracing program X-LAB. Then, a test experiment was carried out by using X-ray tube device. The results show that better two-dimension image could be obtained at the image distance of equal resolution of two dimensions, and larger the Bragg angle is, better the imaging is. Furthermore, smaller size of backlit is also helpful to improve the imaging quality. The experiment result agrees well with the expectation, a spatial resolution better than 14 μm in the image of the mesh. The results obtained contribute to the optimization design of the spherically bent crystal imaging system and precision diagnosis of laser plasma.
