X-ray imaging detector for radiological applications adapted to the context and requirements of low- and middle-income countries

Klaus Benedikt Schönenberger, Hubert Blanchard, René Salathé, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Romain Sahli, Sébastien Emmanuel Blanc, Mario Andres Chavarria Varon, Matthias Hüser, Jérôme Schmid

This paper describes the development of a novel medical x-ray imaging system adapted to the needs and constraints of low- and middle-income countries. The developed system is based on an indirect conversion chain: a scintillator plate produces visible ligh ...

Ion temperature spectroscopic measurements in high rotation discharges by means of X-ray diagnostic at JET

Henri Weisen

Measurement of the X-ray spectra of the He-like Ni ions (Ni26+) and their dielectronic satellites (Ni25+, Ni24+, and Ni23+) plays a crucial role in determination of electronic and ion temperature of plasma in the JET device. Because n >= 3 satellites of Ni ...

SYNAPSE: An international roadmap to large brain imaging

Giorgio Margaritondo

Since 2020, synchrotron radiation facilities in several Asia-Pacific countries have been collaborating in a major project called "SYNAPSE"(Synchrotrons for Neuroscience: an Asia-Pacific Scientific Enterprise). They use x-ray imaging to attack in a coordina ...

Carbon K-edge x-ray emission spectroscopy of gas phase ethylenic molecules

Majed Chergui, Luca Longetti, Thomas Roland Barillot, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Rebecca Ann Ingle

We report on the C K-edge x-ray absorption spectra and the resonant (RXES) and non-resonant (NXES) x-ray emission spectra of ethylene, allene and butadiene in the gas phase. The RXES and NXES show clear differences for the different molecules. Overall both ...

Characterization of the Radiation Resistance of Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics for Superconducting Magnets

Sandra Sequeira Lopes Tavares

The overall performance of accelerator magnets strongly relies on electrical and mechanical robustness of their components. With an increase of the energy, future particle accelerators will have to withstand integral doses of ionizing radiation of up to se ...

High-Resolution Photoemission Study of Neutron-Induced Defects in Amorphous Hydrogenated Silicon Devices

Sylvain Dunand, Nicolas Würsch, Giulia Rossi, Matthew James Large

In this paper, by means of high-resolution photoemission, soft X-ray absorption and atomic force microscopy, we investigate, for the first time, the mechanisms of damaging, induced by neutron source, and recovering (after annealing) of p-i-n detector devic ...

Two-dimensional correlation analysis for x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Andre Al Haddad, Thomas Roland Barillot, Christoph Bostedt

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measures the binding energy of core-level electrons, which are well-localised to specific atomic sites in a molecular system, providing valuable information on the local chemical environment. The technique relies on m ...

Single-projection reconstruction technique for positioning monodisperse spheres in 3D with a divergent x-ray beam

Edward Carlo Giorgio Andò

The measurement of the position of single-sized spheres in 3D from a single, divergent, radiographic projection is addressed in the present study with the development of a novel method. Generally speaking, the location of the shadow cast by a single sphere ...

Core-Valence Attosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy of Polyatomic Molecules

Jiri Vanicek, Nikolay Golubev

Tracing ultrafast processes induced by interaction of light with matter is often very challenging. In molecular systems, the initially created electronic coherence becomes damped by the slow nuclear rearrangement on a femtosecond timescale which makes real ...

Relation between Inner Structural Dynamics and Ion Dynamics of Laser-Heated Nanoparticles

Christoph Bostedt

When a nanoparticle is irradiated by an intense laser pulse, it turns into a nanoplasma, a transition that is accompanied by many interesting nonequilibrium dynamics. So far, most experiments on nanoplasmas use ion measurements, reflecting the outside dyna ...
