The Empa Center for X-ray Analytics is a member of the ANAXAM Technology transfer center and contributes and supports especially in area of high-energy imaging and image processing problems. E-paper from polyscope': Ausgabe 02/2022.

The X-ray sources available at the Center for X-ray Analytics cover a broad range up to an X-ray energy of 6 MeV, which allows to penetrate steel up to 300mm. High spatial resolution can be achieved using a 300 kV high energy microfocus tube. Typical applications are failure analysis in broken appliances to identify defects non-destructively, 3D modelling of structures, metrology for first article inspection, and the monitoring of dynamical processes.

Furthermore we develop new methodologies for airport security and cargo inspection, high energy specific X-ray data acquisition procedures and application tools for image data processing. For the design and optimization of computed tomography systems we apply Monte Carlo simulations.
