Abstract
A parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) generator system was constructed in 2001 in a dedicated beamline connected to the 125MeV electron linac of the Laboratory for Electron Beam Research and Application at Nihon University. This generator system consists of two perfect-silicon-crystal plates mounted on precisely moving mechanical setup to achieve a wide tunability. The experimental operation of the PXR generator started early in 2004; X-rays were first observed through this device in April 2004. Application studies using the PXR beam from a 100MeV electron beam have been conducted since July 2004. Preliminary results suggest the possibility of applying the PXR to advanced X-ray imaging and to the measurement of X-ray absorption fine structure.
