| 1. |
Sector |
The areas of definition of chemical elements in mining industry, formation of ionizing beams and secure diagnosis, X-ray therapy |
| 2. |
Project description |
An X-ray acousto-monochromator has been developed with the following operating parameters: the range of energy alteration 8-100 keV, the range of focal distance alteration from -∞ to +∞, the angular aperture 3’’-200’’, the modulation frequency 0-20 kHz.
The monochromator is made of a quartz single crystal where acoustic oscillations are excited. They have easy-to-make technology and capacity to control diffraction processes in time and space.
They have the following advantages against Bragg monochromators: the integral intensity for the operation with the same parameters is greater 2 times, the density of energy flux is greater 10 times. |
