摘要
The X-ray Calibration Facility (XCF) is a table-top, open-design irradiation setup for research, available at the Physics Department of the University of Turin. It offers beams of photons at different energies and with various spatial and polarization configurations. These characteristics allow XCF to be a suitable facility for calibration and test of energy, position and polarization sensitive detectors.
