Figure 2
NRIXS spectrum of an iron foil under ambient conditions. Symbols shows the total counts of delayed X-ray photons versus the energy of the X-rays incident on the sample. Zero energy corresponds to the nuclear transition energy of 14.412497 keV. The dashed line shows the simultaneously measured resolution function of the monochromator. The solid line represents the inelastic part of the spectrum obtained by subtraction of the appropriately scaled resolution function from the data. The average background is 0.68 counts and significantly below the lowest signal. |
