摘要
The performance of a new X-ray spectrometer is presented. The device was designed originally to be employed in environmental sciences, and allows the use of different types of primary radiation sources, such as a radioactive source (Am-241) or tubes with anodes of different metals (Rh or W). Among the advantages of this spectrometer are the possibility of exchanging detectors to improve efficiency at different X-ray energy ranges [such as Si (Li), Si-PIN, hyperpure Ge, or CdTe detectors], to attach it to a wavelength dispersive system, and its use in vacuum or atmospheric pressure. Furthermore, it is feasible to modify the geometry so a secondary target may be installed for using polarized X-rays as exciting radiation.
