1. An alignment system for aligning apertures in an X-ray backscatter system, said alignment system comprising:
an X-ray detector; a pair of motors; and a radiation flux analyzer device coupled to the X-ray detector and the pair of motors, said flux analyzer device is configured to: operate the pair of motors to move an aperture to a plurality of different positions; receive signals from the X-ray detector at each of the plurality of positions; identify which aperture position exhibits the largest flux intensity based on the received signals; and operate the pair of motors to position the aperture at the identified position.
