559938 X-Ray Energy Detector

X-Ray Energy Detector The energy detector is designed for use with the x-ray apparatus (554 801), recording energy separated measurements within the x-ray spectrum. The detector expands the range of experiments possible in quantum and atomic physics, and will also perform non-destructive material analysis. Description Topics: Recording the spectrum of an x-ray Quantitative investigation of the Compton effect X-ray florescence and recording florescence spectra of different elements Verification of Moseley's law using florescence spectra Non-destructive material analysis Technical Data: Photosensitive area: 0.8 mm Cooling for detector: thermoelectric (Peltier element) Entrance window (plastic): absorption equivalent to graphite with d = 40 µm Detectable energy field: approx. 2 keV to 60 keV Energy resolution at E = 6.40 keV (Fe Kα-line): 0.4 keV half-width value Distribution voltage: ±15 V, +5 V (via plug-in power supply 100...250 V, 50...60 Hz, included) Output: BNC socket for connect
