Figure 7
Cumulative energy deposited in the capacitor BTM until it shorted versus energy density at the time of the short for 40 capacitors tested at XCS at three X-ray energies: 13 keV (blue data points), 7 keV (red) and 10 keV (green). Marker type indicates the beam diameter (FWHM) in µm, as shown in the legend.
