Abstract:The monochromatic X-rays produced by crystal Bragg diffraction has the advantage of continuously adjustable energy, and is the preferred solution for X-ray detector calibration. In order to establish a 5~30keV single-energy X-ray radiation device, the Bragg diffraction study of crystal monochromator and grating monochromator is carried out. The position of the single-energy X-ray beam required to be emitted is adjusted when different Bragg angles are adjusted. To accurately perform detection efficiency calibration. The established single-energy X-ray calibration device is mainly composed of an X-ray machine, a diffractive crystal, and a synchronous rotating device, and covers an energy range 5~30keV. Combined with the single-energy X-ray source measurement results, the monochromaticity is calculated, and the energy broadening of the single-energy X-ray source is calculated according to the experimental conditions. The calculation results show that the single-energy X-ray source itself has very good monochromaticity, and its energy broadening is mainly caused by the size of the limiting beam, that is, the incident angle.
