distributions from on-and off-axis rolled-edgemeasurements are contrasted with those from standardconfiguration loads.[5] Composite-rod-pinch loads on Asterix consisting of hollow-aluminum tubes supporting either 1-cm-long, 1-mm-diam blunt-end or tapered gold slugs, or 1.5-to 2-mm-diam gold spheres are characterized. Composite-slug loads have slightly-lower doses than the 1.6-or 2-mmdiam standard rod pinches reported elsewhere and smaller spot sizes, leading to higher measured radiographic figures-of-merit (FOM). The FOM for the gold-sphere loads is substantially-smaller than for the slug loads.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
