Are Characteristic X-Rays Polarized?

The Emission Quanta of Characteristic X Rays.

and give rise to, cells which are more or less removed from their normal places. Thus polar bodies and ectoderm cells may be caused to form at the vegetative pole or at any other point on the surface of the egg instead of at the animal pole; nevertheless the protoplasmic portions of the yolk-containing cells return to the animal pole when centrifuging ceases unless otherwise prevented. In some ...

Polarized X-rays from Magnetized Neutron Stars

We review the polarization properties of X-ray emission from highly magnetized neutron stars, focusing on emission from the stellar surfaces. We discuss how x-ray polarization can be used to constrain neutron star magnetic field and emission geometry, and to probe strong-field quantum electrodynamics and possibly constrain the properties of axions.

Application of characteristic X-rays to measure linear attenuation coefficient of nano-composites used in shielding

Using of X-rays in different industries and especially in medical application is increasing. In this regard, designing of light and efficient protective material based on polymeric nanocomposites and precise study of the effect of adding nanoparticles with different sizes on the X-ray attenuation is necessary. In this study the epoxy nanocomposites with different percentages of copper oxide nan...
