design:x-ray_detectors

This is an old revision of the document!


X-rays of interest are 8-70 keV. It is also desirable be able to use an 55Fe source (5.9 keV) for testing purposes. We want to maximize the number of x-rays detected in the previously mentioned range while minimizing background from charged particles and high energy gamma rays. We also have to be able to distinguish between k-alpha x-rays for nuclides with Z and Z+1 where Z >= 28 which corresponds to about 550 eV.
