Acceleration, high energy

Today, particle accelerators and computers are as much apart of astronomy as telescopes intent on spying out the visible and the invisible. In their accelerators, high-energy physicists are able to reproduce conditions in the Big Bang and in the stellar core. Then, taking over from them, numerical simulation by computer can write the story of matter through its various cycles of concentration, nucleosynthesis and dispersion. [Pg.91]

In this paper a new design for a high-energy 3D-CT scanner equipped with a linear accelerator as radiation source and an area high-energy x-ray detector is presented. This system is the extension of a 2D system which is installed at present time [3,4]. [Pg.492]

The setup as seen in Figure 1 mainly consists of a Varian Linatron 3000A linear accelerator (LINAC) as radiation source, a rotational stage for sample manipulation, and a two-dimensional high-energy x-ray detector array consisting of four amorphous silicon area detectors Heimann RIS 256. The source to detector distance is 3.7 m. [Pg.492]

Fig. 10. Conformational flooding accelerates conformational transitions and makes them accessible for MD simulations. Top left snapshots of the protein backbone of BPTI during a 500 ps-MD simulation. Bottom left a projection of the conformational coordinates contributing most to the atomic motions shows that, on that MD time scale, the system remains in its initial configuration (CS 1). Top right Conformational flooding forces the system into new conformations after crossing high energy barriers (CS 2, CS 3,. . . ). Bottom right The projection visualizes the new conformations they remain stable, even when the applied flooding potentials (dashed contour lines) is switched off. Fig. 10.

A unique process for chemical stabili2ation of a ceUular elastomer upon extmsion has been shown for ethylene—propylene mbber the expanded mbber obtained by extmsion is exposed to high energy radiation to cross-link or vulcani2e the mbber and give dimensional stabUity (9). EPDM is also made continuously through extmsion and a combination of hot air and microwaves or radio frequency waves which both activate the blow and accelerate the cure. [Pg.407]

X-radiation can also be induced by high energy (several Me proton beams from ion accelerators. Such particle-induced x-ray emission (PIXE) (284) is useful for thin samples and particulates, having detection Hmits of g. Intense synchrotron x-ray sources have found appHcations in... [Pg.320]

Three techniques involving the use of X-ray emission to obtain quantitative elemental analysis of materials are described in this chapter. They are X-Ray Fluorescence, XRF, Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence, TXRF, and Particle-Induced X-Ray Emission, PIXE. XRF and TXRF use laboratory X-ray tubes to excite the emission. PIXE uses high-energy ions from a particle accelerator. [Pg.335]

All the techniques discussed here involve the atomic nucleus. Three use neutrons, generated either in nuclear reactors or very high energy proton ajccelerators (spallation sources), as the probe beam. They are Neutron Diffraction, Neutron Reflectivity, NR, and Neutron Activation Analysis, NAA. The fourth. Nuclear Reaction Analysis, NRA, uses charged particles from an ion accelerator to produce nuclear reactions. The nature and energy of the resulting products identify the atoms present. Since NRA is performed in RBS apparatus, it could have been included in Chapter 9. We include it here instead because nuclear reactions are involved. [Pg.645]

Nuclear reactions are excited when projectile energies are typically in the MeV range. Medium size ion-accelerators are, therefore, necessary to obtain these projectile energies. Protons and a projectiles, typical projectiles in other ion-beam analysis techniques as RBS or PIXE, have few useful nuclear reactions. Deuteron beams excite many more nuclear reactions, but the use of deuteron beams instead of standard beams is more hazardous, because of efficient neutron production. Strict safety rules are necessary when high-energy deuteron beams are used. [Pg.173]
