Xradia Performance Summary - Update

KCAT, Xradia, ALS and APS Performance Summary

“…It is important to note that the ALS system had not yet been optimized at the time we acquired data. Results for each of these systems has been independently documented elsewhere [Waters, et al 2004;Waters et al 2004a;Brown, et al 2004;. In this report we summarize and compare the characterization results for these systems.…”

APS Performance Summary - Update

“…The performance of different DR/CT systems for mesoscale imaging has been benchmarked. Several x-ray systems have been characterized and documented to date, including two microfocus systems Waters, et al 2004a] and one synchrotron based system [Brown, et al 2004]. A synchrotron source used was the Advance Photon Source (APS) located at Argonne National Laboratory.…”

“…The results from other systems are documented in previous reports. Waters, et al 2004a;Brown, et al 2004] Sets of measurements for the Ta edge were taken at each of the three object-to-detector distances. Each set of measurements consisted of two incident intensity (I 0 ) images and two images with the edge (I E ).…”

ALS Performance Summary - Update

“…In an attempt to begin characterizing the reference standards, we have acquired data nondestructively using different x-ray digital radiography (DR) and computed tomography (CT) systems. Reports for the performance of each DR/CT system investigated and used to characterize these reference standards are given elsewhere [Waters, et al 2004, Waters, et al 2004a]. Here we present the report on the tomography beamline 8.3.2 at the Advance Light Source (ALS) located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL).…”
