title: Image plate characterization and absolute calibration to low kilo-electron-volt electrons.
abstract: We report on the characterization of an image plate and its absolute calibration to electrons in the low keV energy range (1-30 keV). In our case, an Agfa MD4.0 without protection layer was used in combination with a Fuji FLA7000 scanner. The calibration data are compared to other published data and a consistent picture of the sensitivity of image plates to electrons is obtained, which suggests a validity of the obtained calibration up to 100 keV.
