| Abstract Scope |
This study presents a methodology to broaden the field of view in X-Ray phase-contrast imaging (XPCI) by incorporating beryllium compound refractive lenses (CRL) during impact experiments at the Dynamic Compression Sector (DCS). Ray-tracing simulations were conducted using OASYS (OrAnge SYnchrotron Suite) to investigate beam caustics across various CRL configurations. The simulation results are compared with actual measurements of beam spot size and intensity levels for the white beam produced by the Undulator U-17, both with and without CRL implementation. To assess the efficacy of the CRL, hypervelocity impact experiments were conducted where oxygen-free copper rod projectiles were launched from the powder gun into boron carbide at velocities ranging from 1.0 to 2.6 km/s. A Photon Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) system and a 2D particle tracking algorithm were used to record back-surface and penetration velocities. The potential benefits and limitations of the experimental setup described above will be discussed in further detail. |
