Electron beam weld penetration depth prediction improved by beam characterisation

Characterisation of electron-beam deposited tungsten interconnects

Electron beam deposition of tungsten from W(CO)6 has been studied for a range of different height deposits. The resistance of the deposited tracks was found to decrease with increasing height implying that thicker deposits have a higher metallic cross section. It was also found that when the current limits were increased to values in excess of 100 μA, the resistance decreased with successive vo...

Electron beam central axis depth dose measurements.

Central axis depth dose measurements were made by the Radiological Physics Center on over 70 electron-producing machines used in radiation therapy. These data were consistent for each machine model and nominal energy. However, the data show that depth dose relations can vary significantly among different machine models for electron beams having the same nominal energy. Analysis shows that both ...

Spatial Filter Based Bessel-Like Beam for Improved Penetration Depth Imaging in Fluorescence Microscopy

Monitoring and visualizing specimens at a large penetration depth is a challenge. At depths of hundreds of microns, several physical effects (such as, scattering, PSF distortion and noise) deteriorate the image quality and prohibit a detailed study of key biological phenomena. In this study, we use a Bessel-like beam in-conjugation with an orthogonal detection system to achieve depth imaging. A...

Electron Beam Distortions in Beam-Beam Compensation Setup

This article is devoted to electron beam distortions in the “electron compressor” setup for beam-beam compensation in the Tevatron collider. The distortions are due to interaction of the electron beam with impacting elliptical antiproton beam. We estimate of longitudinal magnetic field necessary to keep the distortions low.
