Novel approach to stationary transmission scanning using Compton scattered radiation.
Transmission scanning-based estimation of the attenuation map plays a crucial role in quantitative radionuclide imaging. X-ray computed tomography (CT) reconstructs directly the attenuation coefficients map from data transmitted through the object. This paper proposes an alternative route for reconstructing the object attenuation map by exploiting Compton scatter of transmitted radiation from a...
متن کاملScattered Radiation Emission Imaging: Principles and Applications
Imaging processes built on the Compton scattering effect have been under continuing investigation since it was first suggested in the 50s. However, despite many innovative contributions, there are still formidable theoretical and technical challenges to overcome. In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art principles of the so-called scattered radiation emission imaging. Basically, it consist...
متن کاملF eb 2 00 4 Measurements of Compton Scattered Transition Radiation at High Lorentz Factors
X-ray transition radiation can be used to measure the Lorentz factor of relativistic particles. Standard transition radiation detectors (TRDs) typically incorporate thin plastic foil, foam, or fiber radiators and gas-filled x-ray detectors, and are sensitive up to γ ∼ 10. To reach Lorentz factors up to γ ∼ 10, thicker, denser radiators can be used, which consequently produce x-rays of harder en...
متن کاملHigh energy afterglows and flares from Gamma-Ray Burst by Inverse Compton emission
We perform a detailed study of Inverse Compton (IC) emission for a fireball undergoing External Shock (ES) in either a uniform or a wind-like interstellar medium, and assess the relative importance of IC and synchrotron emission. We determine the primary model parameters driving the IC to synchrotron emission ratio in the case of a short duration central engine. We then investigate the case of ...
متن کاملThe infrared jet in Centaurus A : multiwavelength constraints on emission mechanisms and particle acceleration
We report on Spitzer and Gemini observations of the jet of Centaurus A in the infrared, which we combine with radio, ultraviolet and X-ray data. Spitzer detects jet emission from about 2 arcmin from the nucleus, becoming particularly bright after the jet flare point at ∼ 3.4 arcmin. Where X-ray and infrared emission are seen together the broad-band data strongly support a synchrotron origin for...
