Abstract
A source of monochromatic x-rays in the 16 keV to 24 keV range will provide improved contrast and overall image quality in mammography while also reducing overall patient dose Ref 6,7. Based on theoretical work by Freudenberg Ref 6,9, beryllium (Be) was identified as a candidate to be a more efficient source of PXR based x-radiation in this energy range. This thesis describes the use of the NPS 100 MeV linear accelerator (LINAC) to conduct the first parametric x-radiation (PXR) experiments using a beryllium (Be) crystal. Energy spectra were collected from the beryllium crystal that differed from theoretical prediction. This thesis explores explanations of the spectra and provides a foundation of understanding of beryllium crystals for future experiments.

    High temperature x-ray studies of a Cu-Be alloy. 

    McHugh, William M. (Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1965);
    The Debye-Scherrer method has been used to study the sequence of precipitation structures in a two percent beryllium-copper alloy. A special x-ray camera fitted with a furnace was used to follow the age-hardening process ...

    Determination of thermal neutron flux by activation of a pure target with known cross section 

    Kelly, John J., Jr.; Clements, Neal W. (Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1960);
    The thermal neutron flux in a reactor may be determined by activation of a pure target of known cross section. Gold foils were irradiated in the core of the AGN=201 reactor and from the absolute disintegration rate the ...
