High-energy areas

Coasts pounded by high-energy water endure powerful waves and frequent storms. The coasts of the eastern United States and Canada, as well as the southern tips of South America and South Africa, are high-energy areas. Low-energy coasts, where few big waves and storms appear, are often in protected locations such as gulfs.

The matter movement takes place from the high energy areas towards the low energy areas - primarily, the sintering neck between the particles. We must distinguish two cases depending on the location of the source of matter ... 

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]. 

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.
