Multi-wire gas detector. Ray tracing simulation (a) of the focal image from the 11 analyzers at 500 mm bending radius and 35° Bragg angle. The overlay grey dashed lines represent the chosen wires distribution. Inverse vacuum chamber (b). Main components (c) of the detector: entrance X-ray window (1); gas chamber with 16 wires (2); charge-sensitive pre-amplifier (3); baseline restore amplifier (4); Gaussian shaper (5); single-channel analyzer board (6); gas and cooling pipes (7). Spectral response (energy distribution) as a function of the applied potential (d) for a P Kα1 emission line. |
