Compton scattering as a probe for materials investigation
This article investigates into the feasibility of using gamma radiation Compton backscatter spectra as a means of material characterization, with the view to developing a portable, hand held probe for investigative purposes such as searching for illicit substances hidden in wall or car door cavities.
متن کاملA quasi-spherical inner accretion flow in Seyfert galaxies ?
We study a phenomenological model for the continuum emission of Seyfert galaxies. In this quasi-spherical accretion scenario, the central X-ray source is constituted by a hot spherical plasma region surrounded by spherically distributed cold dense clouds. The cold material is radiatively coupled with the hot thermal plasma. Assuming energy balance, we compute the hard X-ray spectral slope Γ and...
متن کاملNew Spectral State of Supercritical Accretion Flow with Comptonizing Outflow
Supercritical accretion flows inevitably produce radiation-pressure driven outflows, which will Compton up-scatter soft photons from the underlying accretion flow, thereby making hard emission. We perform two dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations of supercritical accretion flows and outflows, incorporating such Compton scattering effects, and demonstrate that there appears a new hard s...
متن کاملSpherical Accretion
We compare different examples of spherical accretion onto a gravitating mass. Limiting cases include the accretion of a collisionally dominated fluid and the accretion of collisionless particles. We derive expressions for the accretion rate and density profile for semi-collisional accretion which bridges the gap between these limiting cases. Particle crossing of the Hill sphere during the forma...
متن کاملCompton Scattering
In the early 20th century, research into the interaction of X-rays with matter was an emerging field. It was observed that when a beam of X-rays is directed at an atom, an electron is ejected and the light is scattered through an angle θ, as illustrated below. Classical electromagnetism predicts that the wavelength of scattered rays should be equal to the initial wavelength; however, experiment...
