Low Intensity Nonlinear Effects in Compton Scattering
The design and optimization of a Mono-Energetic Gamma-Ray (MEGa-Ray) Compton scattering source are presented. A new precision source with up to 2.5 MeV photon energies, enabled by state of the art laser and x-band linac technologies, is currently being built at LLNL. Various aspects of the theoretical design, including dose and brightness optimization, are presented. In particular, while it is ...
متن کاملStudy of the Compton scattering effect of soft tissue in PET imaging by Monte Carlo method
Introduction:In PET imaging, one or both of two annihilation photons may change the direction before reaching the detector due to Compton scattering interaction in body. .Methods:This article, a Monte Carlo simulation study, examined the effect of soft tissue on this error.In this work, the PET BiographTM 6 scanner, a simple geometry of soft tissue -including a sphere of soft tissue in center ...
متن کاملInverse Free Electron Laser Accelerators for Driving Compact Light Sources and Detection Applications
Because of the broad application space for compact, 1-2 GeV accelerators, Inverse Free Electron Lasers (IFELs) are enjoying a rebirth of R&D funding. Efforts are under way in industry (RadiaBeam), academia (UCLA), and national laboratories (LLNL and BNL) to develop an ultra-compact IFEL energy booster for the photoinjector driven linear accelerating systems. The RUBICON collaboration integrates...
متن کاملDetermining the accuracy of measuring the thickness of steel plates using Compton scattering method
When there is limitation access to one side of the structure in industry, one of the best methods for thickness measurements is the Compton scattering. In this paper, due to the statistical behavior of dispersed beam counting, we discuss the accuracy of the measurement for steel thickness. Using the experimental method and comparing it with MCNP simulation code, the accuracy is obtained less th...
متن کاملاثر تغییر تابع توزیع انرژی فوتونها بر شرایط احتراق سوخت هم مولار دوتریوم- تریتیوم
At the beginning of thermonuclear ignition in fusion plasma, the bremsstrahlung radiation is dominant phenomenon, the photons distribution function is Planckian and plasma is considered as optically thick one. But at a certain energy, the bremsstrahlung radiation and Compton scattering losses rates become equal and plasma makes a transition from optically thick to optically thin and photons dis...
