Figure 4
Calculated flux curves for a 1 mm × 1 mm X-ray beam at 22.3 m from the source. The SCMPW 3.00 T case from Fig. 2 has been considered and the calculation steps were 5 µm and 0.1 keV. Emittance effects have been included. The filtration, which is the same for all five cases considered, consisted of: 74 mm He path, 1.8 m air path, 0.35 mm Be window and 38 µm Al foil. The (in vacuo) filtration, which was varied, is as follows: F0, no filters; F2, 0.45 mm graphene, mm HD graphite and mm Al; F4, 0.45 mm graphene, mm HD graphite and mm Cu; F5, 0.45 mm graphene, mm HD graphite, mm Al and mm Mo; F6, 0.45 mm graphene, mm HD graphite, mm Al, mm Mo, plus 4.65 mm Cu (ex vacuo; Gammex 116 HVL attenuator set).
