Application of silicon drift detector in PIXE tomography system of Fudan University

Accuracy of three-dimensional proton imaging of an inertial confinement fusion target assessed by Geant4 simulation

“…Particle Induced X-ray Emission Tomography (PIXE-T) in combination with Scanning Transmission Ion Microscopy Tomography (STIM-T) has been used to quantitatively produce the elemental concentration and mass density distributions of microscopic samples of a few tens or hundreds of micrometers in size [1]. These techniques have been applied to the three-dimensional (3D) imaging of microscopic inertial confinement fusion (ICF) targets at Fudan University [2][3][4]. The ICF target is a small spherical shell, a few hundred micrometers in diameter, made of a polymer of uniform composition and mass density, doped with a high Z element, such as Ge.…”
