Example: X-Ray Scattering

Overview

In this sample a source of x-ray photons is located 0.6 mm away from a cold cylinder composed of plastic foam with a density of 0.24 g/cm^3. The height and the diameter of the cylinder are 3mm. A detector is located on the side of the cylinder and records spatially-resolved scattered spectrum. The source spectrum is based on measured emission from a laser-produced manganese plasma.

After starting SPECT3D, set up the example as follows:

• Set up the Simulation Type
• Set up the Geometry
• Set up the Plasma Properties
• Set up the Materials
• Set up the Atomic Data
• Set up the Kinetics Model
• Set up the External Radiation Source
• Set up the Detector
• Set up the Backlighter
• Set up the Spectral Grid
• Set up the Output
• Set up the Simulation Times
• Run the Simulation
