摘要: A beam shaping apparatus (10) for use in an X-ray analysis device (40). The beam shaping apparatus processes an input beam (32) from an X-ray beam source (20), and generates an output beam (34) with an output beam shape for irradiating a sample (112) held by a sample holder (22) of the X-ray analysis device. Movement of the output beam shape is controlled in dependence upon a varying tilt angle (χ) of the sample (112), this defined by a tilt position of the sample holder (22).

摘要: The present disclosure provides an inspection system and a method of stray field mitigation. The system includes an array of electron beam columns, a first permanent magnet array, and a plurality of shielding plates. The array of electron beam columns each includes an electron source configured to emit electrons toward a stage. The first permanent magnet array is configured to condense the electrons from each electron source into an array of electron beams. The first permanent magnet array is arranged at a first end of the array of electron beam columns. The plurality of shielding plates extend across the array electron beam columns downstream of the first permanent magnet array in a direction of electron emission. The array of electron beams pass through a plurality of apertures in each of the plurality of shielding plates, which reduces stray magnetic field in a radial direction of the array of electron beams.

摘要: There is presented a screening system and a corresponding method for screening an item. The screening system includes a detection apparatus (100), a rotatable platform (310) to receive the item, and a mechanical arrangement (320, 330). The detection apparatus has an emitter portion to generate a primary beam of ionising radiation and a detector portion to detect an absorption signal and at least one of a diffraction signal and a scattering signal. The mechanical arrangement is adapted to translate the detection apparatus along a translation axis to scan the item with the primary beam. The screening system may be used for identifying restricted or illicit substances that may be present in some luggage or in mail.

摘要: A method and a device for determining the material properties of a polycrystalline, in particular metallic, product during production or quality control of the polycrystalline, in particular metallic, product by means of X-ray diffraction using at least one X-ray source and at least one X-ray detector. In this case, an X-ray generated by the X-ray source is directed onto a surface of the polycrystalline product and the resulting diffraction image of the X-ray is recorded by the X-ray detector. After exiting the X-ray source, the X-ray is passed through an X-ray mirror, wherein the X-ray is both monochromatized and focused, by the X-ray mirror, in the direction of the polycrystalline product and/or the X-ray detector, and then reaches a surface of the metallic product.

摘要: A ball-mapping system connectable to an X-ray diffraction apparatus, for collecting X-ray diffraction data at measurement points located on a ball-shaped sample is provided. The ball-mapping system includes a sample stage, including a sample-contacting surface and a guide assembly cooperating with the sample-contacting surface for guiding the sample-contacting surface along a first axis and along a second axis unparallel to the first axis. The ball-mapping system includes a sample holder for keeping the ball-shaped sample in contact with the sample stage and a motor assembly in driving engagement with the guide assembly, the motor assembly driving the sample-contacting surface in translational movement along the first axis and the second axis, the translational movement of the sample-contacting surface causing the ball-shaped sample to rotate, on the sample-contacting surface along the first axis and the second axis. A method for mapping the ball-shaped sample is also provided.

摘要: A method includes accelerating an electron bunch along a direction of propagation to a relativistic energy and partitioning the electron bunch by transmitting the electron bunch through a grating at the relativistic energy. The grating includes a plurality of alternating narrow portions and wide portions. The narrow portions have a first thickness in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of propagation of the electron bunch, and the wide portions have a second thickness in the direction substantially parallel to the direction of propagation of the electron bunch. The second thickness is greater than the first thickness. The method also includes generating a pulse of light using the partitioned electron bunch.
