Integrated Radiation Technologies: Advanced Imaging and Beam Shaping for Laboratory and Biological Applications
by
Aula Salvini
Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati
Based on own experience, this seminar presents a summary of research activities conducted by the author within International collaborations since 2012 in the field of applied X-ray optics and imaging, followed by the discussion on prospective research directions at LNF.
The presentation addresses the development of compact accelerator-based X-ray sources and advanced X-ray optical systems, such as adaptive crystal monochromators controlled by external stimuli and polycapillary optics for the generation of high-intensity monochromatic radiation. Their implementation in applied X-ray imaging and analytical techniques for industrial applications is discussed.
Particular attention is given to the use of polycapillary optics in advanced imaging systems and to the integration of 3D printing technologies for the fabrication of customized components for radiation imaging and radiation therapy setups.
