Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. We will report initial results from the imaging of Hg vapor in a metal-halide arc lamp using synchrotron x-ray radiation. These measurements extend previous work on X-ray absorption imaging in arc lamps using an X-ray tube. High flux synchrotron radiation and a digital detector make it possible to obtain time-resolved measurements. Monochromatic radiation improves the accuracy over what can be obtained with broadband radiation.
