X-ray Utilities

The utility has four categories of information:

• Status

  • Current storage ring monitors of several synchrotron facilities around the world.

  • Shake your device if you're bored to display one at random!

• Lines

  • General atomic properties, absorption edges, and fluorescence lines (with yields) for elements hydrogen through californium. Search by name or energy for quickly finding the info you need!

  • Database of elemental filters that could used for scatter reduction in an EXAFS experiment.

• Absorption

  • This utility will calculate the absorption length and total absorption of any compound, given the x-ray energy, chemical formula, density and thickness of the compound of interest.

  • Includes a list of common compounds, and you can also add your own.

• Ion Chambers

  • Enter the gas composition, pressure, energy, chamber length, measured voltage and amplifier gain and you will get the x-ray flux in photons per second.
