Target diagnostics on PBFA II will include a time-resolved x-ray diode array, an energy-resolved, time-integrated x-ray camera, and a grazing incidence spectrometer. A clean vacuum, independent of that on PBFA II, will be supplied to the detectors to maintain more reproducible calibrations. We also describe the diagnostics and outline the calculations which determined the shielding required. Based on the calculations the background due to bremsstrahlung in the least sensitive diagnostic is 12 eV/pixel. The appropriate shielding is being built to field these diagnostics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
