We investigate the use of an Amptek Cool-X X-ray Generator for an instructional tool in the physics of x-rays, as well as a source for x-rays for crystal diffraction experiments. The x-ray source is a solid-state two-phase air-cooled source with a timevarying photon output. Two detectors are used in this experiment, the first being an Amptek X-123 Spectrometer and the second a combination scint...

We are developing Laser Super Cavity for compact X-ray generator based on Inverse Compton Scattering with several tens MeV electron beam. The laser supercavity increases the laser power and makes small laser beam size at the collision point with the electron beam. A FabryPerot cavity as the laser supercavity has been tested at the KEK-ATF (Accelerator Test Facility) and the design for the incre...

Introduction: Extensive use of diagnostic radiology is the largest contributor to total population radiation doses. Thus, appropriate equipment and safe practice are necessary for good-quality images with optimal doses. This study aimed to perform quality control (QC) audit for radiography and fluoroscopy devices owned by private sector in Syria (2005-2013) to verify compliance of performance o...
