主 题:Polarized X-rays Polarimetry Calibration Bragg diffraction
摘 要:With the advancement in X-ray astronomical detection technology,various celestial polarization detection projects have been *** meet the calibration requirements of polarimeters on the ground,a polarized X-ray radiation facility was designed for this *** design was based on the principle that X-rays incident at 45°on a crystal produce polarized X-rays,and a second crystal was used to measure the polarization of the X-rays produced by the facility after *** effects of different diaphragm sizes on the degree of polarization were compared,and the facility produced X-rays with polarization degrees of up to 99.55±0.96%using LiF200 and LiF220 *** result revealed that the polarization of incident X-rays is one of the factors affecting the diffraction efficiency of *** replacement of different crystals can satisfy the calibration requirements of polarized X-ray detectors with more energy points in the energy range(4-10)*** the future,the facility should be placed in a vacuum environment to meet the calibration requirements at lower energies.
