Abstract:The objective of this article is to enhance a method for effectively discriminating light metallic materials from heavy ones at low X-ray energies. In this research, Monte Carlo simulations are employed to investigate the influential factors affecting material discrimination. Initially, for result validation, the experimental setup is fully simulated based on Monte Carlo method. The X-ray spectrum of 160 keV is simulated and then it is registered after interacting with step wedges made of iron, aluminum, graph… Show more
