7 Jennifer L. Loos 7 SULI Presentation August 13, 2009 Concept For Design “ Radiation acoustics is a field of physics in which sound phenomena arising under radiation interacting with matter are studied. ” So, the idea is to have a target material placed in the beam line, and by measuring the acoustic wave produced in the material, the power can be determined. How is the wave detected and measured?

8 Jennifer L. Loos 8 SULI Presentation August 13, 2009 Mechanical stress on some materials (in this case ceramic), can generate an electric potential which then creates a voltage across the material. PiezoelectricEffect Source: Piezoelectric sensors are attached to the target material. The subsequent deformation caused by the shockwave induced by the beam generates a voltage in the piezo.

10 Jennifer L. Loos 10 SULI Presentation August 13, 2009 RTDs (Resistant Temperature Devices) We also decided to attach RTDs to the target for comparison and calibration purposes. These were modified to a four-wire design for a more accurate measurement of resistance. Selected based on: - Ceramic and platinum materials, both acceptable in vacuum - dimensions (to be attached to a small target)

11 Jennifer L. Loos 11 SULI Presentation August 13, 2009 What material should be used for the target? Need very hard target material as it will be hit by the x-ray beam Material must also have appropriate acoustic properties B4C would be safer, but acoustic properties needed to be determined Material Boron Carbide (B 4 C) Beryllium Mohs Hardness Scale Acoustic Properties ? (had to be tested) Clear ‘ringing’ signal (not ‘thud’) Atomic Weight ~ SafetyNon-toxicToxic
