Reset the 93 keV energy
span to 64 keV, you¡¯re losing almost half of your energy resolution which you¡¯ll
need down in the low 15 keV energy range. Set the gain for a 64 keV span with 2048
channels.
Theory says Fe and Ca should XRF with quite low energy excitement =
"just above the K-edge".
. Fortunately the test was left as-is last night, so it was easy to redo and
save example .mca's. so here's a fresh set of .mca that show the reality of
this skimming arrangement.?
Note the Ca, Fe and Ba peaks as exemplars. Also remember the possibility of
stray "W" L-lines due to the Si-PIN collimator..?
The .mca marked as "ALLkVp" should contain the others too, if not
I've included each individual .mca's.
Once I'm able to strike this test, I'll take a repeat this test wiht the
standard 45 degree arrangement of exciter and detector angle.
Then a direct Gamma Scan of the beam itself to see how the internal tungsten
target characteristic L lines look. If they are being filtered internally that
would explain a lot.
