A new technology was developed for manufacturing of precise and low-cost X-ray grazing incidence microscopic optics.Imaging experiments represent one of the main directions in the Czechoslovak X-ray astronomy program. The Space Research Department of the Astronomical Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in Ondřejov has been active in the development of X-ray mirrors since 1970. We have participated in 7 space X-ray imaging experiments. 6 experiments were flown onboard the Vertical 8, 9 and 11 rockets in the years 1979, 1981 and 1983 (Hudec et al. 1984a), one experiment was flown onboard the Soviet orbital station Salyut 7 in the year 1982 (Valníček et al. 1983 and Hudec et al. 1984b). The experiments represent both small solar X-ray imaging telescopes and big stellar X-ray telescope.

Abstract Compared with solid scintillators, liquid scintillators have limited capability in dosimetry and radiography due to their relatively low light yields. Here, we report a new generation of highly efficient and low-cost liquid scintillators constructed by surface hybridisation of colloidal metal halide perovskite CsPbA3 (A: Cl, Br, I) nanocrystals (NCs) with organic molecules (2,5-diphenyloxazole). The hybrid liquid scintillators, compared to state-of-the-art CsI and Gd2O2S, demonstrate markedly highly competitive radioluminescence quantum yields under X-ray irradiation typically employed in diagnosis and treatment. Experimental and theoretical analyses suggest that the enhanced quantum yield is associated with X-ray photon-induced charge transfer from the organic molecules to the NCs. High-resolution X-ray imaging is demonstrated using a hybrid CsPbBr3 NC-based liquid scintillator. The novel X-ray scintillation mechanism in our hybrid scintillators could be extended to enhance the quantum yield of various types of scintillators, enabling low-dose radiation detection in various fields, including fundamental science and imaging.

AbstractLaser plasmas are well-suited to studies of ionic photoabsorption because they can provide highly ionized, low temperature plasmas of high column density, as well as bright, compact continuum X-ray sources which can illuminate the plasma under study. In our experiment, continuum X-rays from a gold laser plasma are partially absorbed as they traverse a carbon plasma and are then dispersed by a grazing incidence reflection grating. An X-ray imaging camera records both the absorbed and unabsorbed spectra simultaneously for later computer analysis to determine the photoabsorption cross sections for each carbon ion species.
