Towards hard x-ray imaging at GHz frame rate

Journal Article Zhehui, Wang ; Morris, C. L. ; Kapustinsky, J. S. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Gigahertz (GHz) imaging using hard x-rays ( Greater-Than-Or-Equivalent-To 10 keV) can be useful to high-temperature plasma experiments, as well as research and applications using coherent photons from synchrotron radiation and x-ray free electron lasers. GHz framing rate can be achieved by using multiple cameras through multiplexing. The advantages and trade-offs of single-photon detection mode, when no more than one x-ray photon is detected per pixel, are given. Two possible paths towards x-ray imaging at GHz frame rates using a single camera are: (a) avalanche photodiode arrays of high-Z materials and (b) microchannel plate photomultipliers in conjunction with materials with largemore » indices of refraction.« less

Ultrafast inorganic scintillator-based front imager for Gigahertz Hard X-ray imaging

Journal Article Hu, Chen ; Zhang, Liyuan ; Zhu, Ren-Yuan ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

State-of-the art X-ray imaging cameras using silicon sensors for X-ray detection have demonstrated a frame-rate of 10 MHz and excellent performance for X-ray energies below 20 keV. We proposed a pixelated ultrafast inorganic scintillator-based front imager for GHz hard X-ray imaging. Here, the proposed imager is featured with a total absorption for hard X-ray photons, and provides sub-ns scintillation pulse width crucial for X-ray bunches of a few ns spacing foreseen at the proposed MaRIE facility. We measured temporal response of a dozen ultrafast and fast inorganic scintillators at the 10-ID-B site of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) of ANL.more »« less

Ultra-fast LuI{sub 3}:Ce scintillators for hard x-ray imaging

Journal Article Marton, Zsolt ; Miller, Stuart R. ; Ovechkina, Elena ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We have developed ultra-fast cerium-coped lutetium-iodide (LuI{sub 3}:Ce) films thermally evaporated as polycrystalline, structured scintillator using hot wall epitaxy (HWE) method. The films have shown a 13 ns decay compared to the 28 ns reported for crystals. The fast speed coupled with its high density (∼5.6 g/cm{sup 3}), high effective atomic number (59.7), and the fact that it can be vapor deposited in a columnar form makes LuI{sub 3}:Ce an attractive candidate for high frame rate, high-resolution, hard X-ray imaging. In crystal form, LuI{sub 3}:Ce has demonstrated bright (>100,000 photons/MeV) green (540 nm) emission, which is well matched to commercialmore »« less
