Compton scattering as a probe for materials investigation
This article investigates into the feasibility of using gamma radiation Compton backscatter spectra as a means of material characterization, with the view to developing a portable, hand held probe for investigative purposes such as searching for illicit substances hidden in wall or car door cavities.
متن کاملBuilding a high resolution total scattering powder diffractometer – upgrade of NPD at MLNSC
The neutron powder diffractometer NPD at the Manuel Lujan Neutron Scattering Center (MLNSC) at Los Alamos National Laboratory is the neutron powder diffractometer with the highest resolution in the United States. We are currently upgrading NPD by adding a large number of position-sensitive detectors in the backscattering position. The upgraded instrument will make it possible to collect data fr...
متن کاملAn in-vacuum diffractometer for resonant elastic soft x-ray scattering.
We describe the design, construction, and performance of a 4-circle in-vacuum diffractometer for resonant elastic soft x-ray scattering. The diffractometer, installed on the resonant elastic and inelastic x-ray scattering beamline at the Canadian Light Source, includes 9 in-vacuum motions driven by in-vacuum stepper motors and operates in ultra-high vacuum at base pressure of 2 × 10(-10) Torr. ...
متن کاملPlasma ion source for in situ ion bombardment in a soft x-ray magnetic scattering diffractometer.
A new plasma ion source for in situ keV He ion bombardment of solid state samples or thin films was designed and built for ion fluences between 1 × 10(12) and 1 × 10(17) ions/cm(2). The system was designed to be mounted to different diffraction chambers for soft x-ray resonant magnetic scattering. Without breaking the vacuum due to He-ion bombardment, structural and magnetic modifications of th...
متن کاملHow Computers Discover How Computers Discover (A mini-review of algorithmic meta-discovery)
In traditional exerimental sciences one forms hypotheses explaining an empirical sample of some natural phenomenon. The hypothesis discovery process can in certain cases be automated using machine learning algorithms. I discuss some consequences of viewing scientific discovery, primarily computer based, itself as a natural phenomenon, whose empirical sample may be analyzed or hypothesized about...
