A portable X-ray source for testing of TRD/ALICE radiators and chambers
- 1. Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna (Russian Federation)
Description
Portable X-ray sources were designed and produced for experimental study of radiator absorption uniformity and mapping of large-scale drift chamber gain. The tests are performed on-line with creation of the Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) for the ALICE experiment at CERN. The source is a key element of automatic scanner, and it produces X-ray photons in the energy range up to 10 keV with required intensity. The design and characteristics of the source are described.
