; ; This document describes the elements in the X-ray path in the HESSI croystat. It includes ; the beryllium windows and Mylar within the cryostat. ; ; ; Here is an email from April 1999 from Paul Turin on the mylar in the X-ray path within the cryostat. ;Richard, ;I think I finally have the correct cryostat blanket info. Blanketing in ;front of the detectors is as following (going in the direction of X-ray ;travel): ; ;Outer shield blankets: ; ;1-mil mylar, VDA 1 side ;1/4-mil mylar, VDA 2 sides ;1/4-mil mylar, VDA 2 sides ; ;1/4-mil mylar, VDA 2 sides ;1/4-mil mylar, VDA 2 sides ; ;1/4-mil mylar, VDA 2 sides ;1-mil mylar, VDA 1 side ; ;Inner shield blanket: ; ;1-mil mylar, VDA 1 side ;8 layers 1/4-mil mylar, VDA 2 sides ;1-mil mylar, VDA 1 side ; ;All netting has cutouts over detectors. ; ;Total material in path = 7.25 mils mylar ;VDA = Vapor-Deposited Aluminum, Angstroms thick ; ; ;Paul Turin ;Space Sciences Lab ;U.C. Berkeley ;pturin@ssl.berkeley.edu ; ; 7.25 mils mylar = .002192 * gm/cm2/mil * 7.25 mils of carbon ; plus ; .001168 * gm/cm2/mil * 7.25 mils of oxygen ; ; at http://www.filmcapacitors.com/dielect.htm ; we find the density of Polyester(Mylar) given as 1.395 ; Using the densities above, ;IDL> print,(.002192+.001168)*1000./2.54 ; 1.32283 ; So we are at least close to a standard value. Whew! ; The filter plus blanket transmisson can be calculated in each of the four states by using ; this file and HESSI_FILTERS() ; For a set of energies, , in keV greater or equal to 3 keV. And where is the ; full path to this file. ; ; ;The following is the data structure used to describe all of the elements in the X-ray path. ;The thickness units default is 'cm', although 'mils' is most commonly used. ;Presently, only 'mils' is recognized as an alternative to a blank string. ;The id tag means, 0- fixed in path, 1- part of shutter_10 (Thin/B), 2-part of shutter_01(Thick/A). ; ;hessi_win = { hessi_win5, fraction:fltarr(5), regions:intarr(5), layers: intarr(2), $ ; thickness: fltarr(2), units:'', z:0, id:0} ; Define the fractional areas of 4 regions defining the X-ray path cross-section. ; These are the fractional values seen in the lines defining the material in each layer and segment. ;0.850, .050, .0874, 0.012, 0.0006 ;frac1, frac2, frac3, frac4, frac5 ; ;0.833207, 0.0841974, .06975, 0.01178, 0.001063 ;frac1, frac2, frac3, frac4, frac5 disc9 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ;frac1, frac2, frac3, frac4, frac5 disc9 ;Cryostat windows, all regions, 20 mil entrance window + 10 mil can window + two 5 mil internal thermal barriers of Be. frac1, frac2, frac3, frac4, frac5, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 40., 40., mils, 4, 0 ;Cryostat mylar, all regions, 7.25 mil mylar, carbon frac1, frac2, frac3, frac4, frac5, 1 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, .015892, .015892, gmcm2, 6, 0 ;Cryostat mylar, all regions, 7.25 mil mylar, oxygen frac1, frac2, frac3, frac4, frac5, 1 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, .008468, .008468, gmcm2, 8, 0 ;Summary of text read into structure hesi_win5 structure. ;** Structure HESSI_WIN5, 7 tags, length=72: ; FRACTION FLOAT Array[5] - fractional area in each of 5 regions ; REGIONS INT Array[5] - 1 indicates region populated with this material. 0 empty. ; LAYERS INT Array[2] - minimum and maximum number of layers ; THICKNESS FLOAT Array[2] - minimum and maximum thickness in UNITS ; UNITS STRING '' - UNITS mils or gmcm2 (gms/square cm) ; Z INT 0 - Z of material ; ID INT 0 - Association ID.
