Time-resolved spot size diagnosis for high-energy X-ray source

A time-resolved measurement system of spot size for X-ray sources was constructed by coupling a gated CCD camera with a fast scintillator crystal. The spot size of the high-energy pulsed X-ray source from the Dragon-Ⅰ linear induction accelerator was measured at 10 ns intervals, and a curve of spot size versus time was obtained. An LYSO crystal array with a pixel size of 0.78 mm was also designed and tested in X-ray field, and primary experimental results show the array can be used for time-resolved spot size diagnosis of the high energy X-ray source and significantly improve the spatial resolution of X-ray images.
