X-ray radiography based on the phase-contrast imaging with using LiF detector

Abstract

An x-ray radiography technique based upon phase contrast imaging using a lithium fluoride detector has been demonstrated for goals of high energy density physics experiments. Based on the simulation of propagation an x-ray free-electron laser beam through a test-object, the visibility of phase-contrast image depending on an object-detector distance was investigated. Additionally, the metrological capabilities of a lithium fluoride crystal as a detector were demonstrated.
