F 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 کاملTransition radiation detectors for energy measurements at high Lorentz factors
The characteristic dependence of the intensity of transition radiation (TR) on the Lorentz factor g 1⁄4 E=mc of a primary particle is key to a number of practical applications. In particular, one may use TR detectors for energy measurements of heavy cosmic-ray nuclei in a region where alternate techniques are difficult to apply. However, a serious constraint can be the saturation of the TR yiel...
متن کاملNovel 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 کاملCompton profile measurements of lithium fluoride with 662 keV radiation
The isotropic Compton profile of lithium fluoride has been deduced from Compton scattering measurements on poly crystalline sample at gamma ray source energy of 662 keV. Here we report the experimental and theoretical Compton profile of lithium fluoride. We calculated directional Compton profile and their anisotropic effect using self-consistent Hatree-Fock wave functions employed on the linear...
متن کاملFuture Measurements of Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering at HERMES
Prospects for future measurements of Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering at HERMES are studied using different simple models for parameterizations of generalized parton distributions (GPDs). Measurements of the lepton charge and lepton beam helicity asymmetry will yield important input for theoretical models towards the future extraction of GPDs.
