    Abstract: An X-ray diffraction imaging system is provided. The X-ray diffraction imaging system includes an X-ray source configured to emit an X-ray pencil beam and a scatter detector configured to receive scattered radiation having a scatter angle from the X-ray pencil beam. The scatter detector is located substantially in a plane and includes a plurality of detector strips. A first detector strip has a first width equal to a linear extent of the X-ray pencil beam measured at the plane in a direction parallel to the first width.

    Abstract: A method for identifying a substance is described. The method includes detecting, by a first scatter detector, a first set of scattered radiation, generating a first effective atomic number from the first set of scattered radiation, detecting, by a second scatter detector, a second set of scattered radiation, generating a second effective atomic number from the second set of scattered radiation, and determining whether the first effective atomic number is within a limit of the second effective atomic number.

    Abstract: An X-ray source and an X-ray apparatus with an X-ray source are provided, the X-ray source includes a liquid metal target which flows through a system of ducts and is conducted through a duct section which has a flow cross-section that is reduced relative to that of the system of ducts. The X-ray source provides a pressure source for acting on the liquid metal target such that the pressure in the liquid metal target at the area of the reduced flow cross-section equals essentially a selectable reference value or remains essentially in a pressure range between selectable limit values of the pressure. A comparatively small thickness of a window can thus be realized in conjunction with a comparatively high flow speed.

    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the momentum transfer spectrum of elastically scattered X-ray quanta includes an anode having a focus extended in Y-direction which emits X-radiation in the X-direction, a primary collimator extending in the Y-direction which allows through only X-radiation aimed at a single isocenter, wherein the isocenter is the originating point of a Cartesian coordinates system, an examination area, a scatter collimator arranged between said examination area and the isocenter and configured to allow through only scattered radiation from an object introduced in said examination area, wherein the radiation is emitted at a fixed angle of scatter (Θ), and a detector. The X-component of a scatter voxel of the object is imaged onto the Z-component of the detector, and the detector is located in the Y-Z plane, distanced from the Z-axis, and developed as a two-dimensional pixellated detector having a plurality of energy-resolving detector elements.
