Beam-size effects in radiation damage in insulin and thaumatin crystals.
Cryocooled insulin and thaumatin crystals were irradiated in a series of alternating data collections and high-dose-rate exposures using either a vertically focused or vertically defocused beam. The main result is that the radiation damage is limited to the exposed region, which can be explained by the short range of the photoelectrons and the Auger electron cascade produced by light elements. ...
متن کاملRadiation damage in scintillating crystals
Crystal Calorimetry in future high-energy physics experiments faces a new challenge to maintain its precision in a hostile radiation environment. This paper discusses the effects of radiation damage in scintillating crystals, and concludes that the predominant radiation damage effect in crystal scintillators is the radiation-induced absorption, or color center formation, not the loss of scintil...
متن کاملRadiation Damage Kinetics in Pwo Crystals
This note proposed a model to describe the kinetics of the irradiation damage in PWO crystal and apply it to two well-known measurement methods of the optical transmission damaged by irradiation. 1 . Introduction It is known that in some PWO crystals damage to their optical properties appears under ionizing radiation. A decrease of the optical transmission and then of light yield has been detec...
متن کاملFirst results on radiation damage in PbWO4 crystals exposed to a 20 GeV/c proton beam
We have exposed seven full length production quality crystals of the electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) of the CMS detector to a 20 GeV/c proton beam at the CERN PS accelerator. The exposure was done at fluxes of 10 p/cm/h and 10 p/cm/h and integral fluences of 10 p/cm and 10 p/cm were reached at both rates. The light transmission of the crystals was measured after irradiation and suitable cool...
متن کاملRadiation damage in protein crystals is reduced with a micron-sized X-ray beam.
Radiation damage is a major limitation in crystallography of biological macromolecules, even for cryocooled samples, and is particularly acute in microdiffraction. For the X-ray energies most commonly used for protein crystallography at synchrotron sources, photoelectrons are the predominant source of radiation damage. If the beam size is small relative to the photoelectron path length, then th...
