title = "Calibration of X-ray detectors in the 8 to 111 keV energy range and their application to diagnostics on the National Ignition Facility",
abstract = "The calibration of X-ray diagnostics is of paramount importance to the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). National Security Technologies LLC (NSTec) fills this need by providing a wide variety of calibration and diagnostic development services in support of the ongoing research efforts at NIF. The X-ray source in the High Energy X-ray lab utilizes induced fluorescence in a variety of metal foils to produce a beam of characteristic X-rays ranging from 8 to 111 keV. Presented are the methods used for calibrating a High Purity Germanium detector, using NIST traceable radioactive sources, and compared against a silicon photodiode calibrated at Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). A limited presentation of results from the recent calibration of the upgraded Filter Fluorescer X-ray Spectrometer is included.",
