Quantitative micro-porosity characterization using synchrotron micro-CT and xenon K-edge subtraction in sandstones, carbonates, shales and coal

Understanding porosity in rock specimens on a range of length scales is critical for assessment of geophysical properties relevant to petroleum and geothermal resources. Modern micro-CT techniques can show detail down to around a micron scale but cannot unambiguously detect porosity below the resolu...
