The results are presented of absolute spectral responsivity measurements for SPPD11 and SPPD11-04 pulse-type silicon semiconductor detectors (developed by the Research Institute of Pulse Technique, Moscow), carried out over the X-ray energy range from 1.5 keV to 20 keV with a relative uncertainty of typically 5 10 -2 . In our measurements, the detector is positioned in a calculable synchrotron radiation flux behind filters of well-known transmittance. The spectral responsivity of the detector is restored on the basis of measurement data using a set of integral equations. Two procedures have been developed to improve the calibration accuracy: one for the experimental determination of the X-ray transmittance near the K absorption edge of the filters used, with a relative uncertainty not exceeding 2 10 -2 ; and another for the estimation of the angular spread of the electrons.

A one-coordinate x-ray detector for digital subtraction angiography using synchrotron radiation is described. It comprises two x-ray-sensitive lines, each having 128 independent channels of scintillation counters. The detector is designed to simultaneously measure the intensities of two linear monochromatic beams being 8–10 mm distant from each other. The spatial resolution of each line ranges from 0.2 to 2 mm. The maximum counting rate is 6 MHz for each channel, and the detection efficiency of the 33.2-keV quanta is close to 100%. Preliminary results of the testing of the detector channels on synchrotron radiation beam are given.
