In order to accurately measure the photon flux and to assist in aligning the beam, we have designed a modified beam stop device based on a photo diode integrated with the beam stop. The beam stop contains a small CdWO(4) crystal that completely stops the X-rays and at the same time produces photoluminescence proportional to the X-ray flux. The light is then guided to a photosensitive diode, using a flexible light pipe, to monitor the flux. With this device we achieve the goal of stopping the primary X-ray beam and simultaneously monitoring the X-ray intensity, thus eliminating the need for integrating ion-chambers into the capillary or collimator mount.
为了精确测量光子通量并辅助光束准直,我们设计了一种改进的束流阻挡装置,该装置基于与束流阻挡器集成的光电二极管。束流阻挡器包含一块小的钨酸镉(CdWO₄)晶体,它能完全阻挡X射线,同时产生与X射线通量成正比的光致发光。然后,利用一根柔性光导管将光引导至一个光敏二极管,以监测通量。通过该装置,我们实现了阻挡初级X射线束并同时监测X射线强度的目标,从而无需将电离室集成到毛细管或准直器支架中。
