A Review of the Applications of Synchrotron Radiation in Archaeological Sciences
The scientific research regarding investigation, characterization and protection of the archeological specimens is manifested through a notable participation of multidisciplinary subjects and experts, scientists and archeometrists. One of the main principals which are considered by archaeometrists in the study of the precious specimens is the utilizing nondestructive methods. As an example, in ...
متن کاملSynchrotron radiation applications to macromolecular crystallography.
Progress has been rapid in the development and application of four different types of macromolecular crystallographic experiment at synchrotron hard X-ray sources: multiwavelength anomalous diffraction; studies of crystals with very large unit cell dimensions; structure determination at atomic or near-atomic resolution; and time-resolved studies. The results illustrate the interplay between the...
متن کاملSynchrotron Radiation and Pretzeled Orbits Geometry of Synchrotron Radiation Illumination
Turning on a `pretzel' , or any closed orbit distortion, can substantially alter the path of synchrotron radiation (SR), in some instances causing it to strike components not designed to absorb the radiation. In this paper I develop equations useful in determining the source position and angle of dipole SR as a function of the pretzel amplitude and angle. Formula for linear power deposition and...
متن کاملApplications of synchrotron radiation to protein crystallography: preliminary results.
X-ray diffraction photographs of protein single crystals have been obtained using synchrotron radiation produced by an electron-positron storage ring. The diffracted intensities observed with this unconventional source are a factor of at least 60 greater than those obtained with a sealed x-ray tube using the same crystal and instrumental parameters. Diffraction data have been collected by the p...
متن کاملMedical physics aspects of the synchrotron radiation therapies: Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) and synchrotron stereotactic radiotherapy (SSRT).
Stereotactic Synchrotron Radiotherapy (SSRT) and Microbeam Radiation Therapy (MRT) are both novel approaches to treat brain tumor and potentially other tumors using synchrotron radiation. Although the techniques differ by their principles, SSRT and MRT share certain common aspects with the possibility of combining their advantages in the future. For MRT, the technique uses highly collimated, qu...
