Description
We have built equipment that can visualize the angle distributions of scattered X-rays. The main body of the equipment is made of a lead-shielded box 340 mm long, 300 mm wide and 270 mm high. The collimated X-rays are introduced into the equipment from the front face, then scattered by the sample located in the center of the equipment. The X-rays scattering toward the upper side are detected by the phosphor plate. To verify the usability of the equipment, an experiment using diagnostic X-rays was carried out. X-rays with a tube voltage of 100 kV were narrowed down to 6 mmφ and a 2 mm-thick acrylic sample was irradiated. The experimental conditions with a tube current-time product of 300 mAs to 1500 mAs proved appropriate for obtaining suitable images on a 10 inch×12 inch phosphor plate. The obtained images were analyzed using ImageJ. The experimental values were in good agreement with the theoretical distribution calculated by Klein and Nishina. Because the distribution of the scattered X-rays can be visualized in relatively simple experiments using the developed equipment, it is hoped that it will be of use for the practical training of beginners.
