The X-ray source based on parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) has been developed and employed for users studies at the Laboratory for Electron Beam Research and Application (LEBRA), Nihon University. The X-ray energy of the LEBRA-PXR source is limited to 34keV in the case of using Si(220) as a radiator. Samples containing elements heavier than cesium such as lanthanoid are difficult to treat for...
Compact, efficient, and high-quality plasma wakefield-accelerated free electron lasers (FELs), betatron sources, and novel synchrotron radiation (SR) coherent sources are under development to meet the latest experimental and technological demands [1, 2]. All new sources need small, low-loss optical parts that can focus, condense, monochromatize, filter, and/or focus radiation, as well as...
First results on the use of polycapillary optical systems will be reported.
Development of new materials and instrumentations for detection of charge particle beams and measuring their parameters are very topical in modern accelerator physics [1]. Cherenkov effect is well-known phenomenon that can be used for beam diagnosis. Commonly, diamond crystals is considered to be used as Cherenkov radiators for this purposes since this material has high resistance to radiation...
Computed tomography (CT) is a widely used method that provides huge opportunities for imaging the internal structure of different samples without disturbing their structures. During a CT scan, X-rays pass through a sample and detectors measure the radiation intensity after their interaction with this sample. The images directly obtained during the X-ray CT scan are two-dimensional projections...
Neutrinos produced in an early stage of the Big Bang are believed to pervade the Universe.
The Ptolemy project is studying novel experimental techniques to observe this relic cosmological background neutrinos and to eventually study their flux and compare it with cosmological models.
This requires to face challenges in material technologies as tritium storage on nanostructure and detection...
Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) are best candidate as emitters because of their high ordered structure, directional sensitivity and superior field emission performances. To understand the effective relation between field enhancement factor and surface morphology, we provide a protocol to quantitively characterize the topographic properties of nanotubes. After an efficient...
Recent advancements in radiobiology focus on the effects of ionizing radiation on biological systems, with a critical emphasis on understanding how radiation impacts DNA, as structural breaks in DNA are a primary cause of cellular death. Enhancing the efficacy of cancer treatments by combining radiation therapy with other modalities, such as chemotherapy and phototherapy, can mitigate the side...
