Ultra-High-Speed X-ray Tomography: Bridging the Gaps to See the Unknown
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
Rapid, time-varying, three-dimensional physics underpin numerous engineering challenges. Often, these physics occur within opaque environments, internal to a component, severely limiting applicable diagnostics. Development of novel diagnostics is necessary to understand and predict transient three-dimensional (3D) phenomena within opaque environments. This report highlights progress in four key areas leading to advancements in high-speed X-ray radiography and tomography. The first area is enabling MHz-rate imaging of energetics at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. The second is modeling a high-flux, rotating-anode X-ray source to understand the heat loads on the anode. The third effort was to develop a novel reconstruction algorithm that is validated by ground experimental tomography data and synthetic tomography data. The fourth is the development of a novel approach to two-color X-ray imaging.
