Relativistic nonlinear Thomson scattering as attosecond x-ray source.
Relativistic, nonlinear Thomson scattering by an electron of an intense laser field has been investigated by computer simulation. Under a laser field with a pulse duration of 20-fs full width at half maximum and an intensity of 10(20) W/cm(2), the motion of an electron is highly relativistic and generates an ultrashort radiation of 2 as with photon energies from 100 to 600 eV. An interesting mo...
متن کاملTheory of X-Ray Thomson Scattering
The scattering of photons in plasmas is an important diagnostic tool. The region of warm dense matter can be probed by x-ray Thomson scattering. This requires intense x-ray sources, such as the free electron laser (FEL) at DESY Hamburg. We improve the standard treatment of the scattering on free electrons within the random phase approximation (RPA) by including collisions. The dynamic collision...
متن کاملAcquiring molecular interference functions of X-ray coherent scattering for breast tissues by combination of simulation and experimental methods
Background: Recently, it has been indicated that X-ray coherent scatter from biological tissues can be used to access signature of tissue. Some scientists are interested in studying this effect to get early detection of breast cancer. Since experimental methods for optimization are time consuming and expensive, some scientists suggest using simulation. Monte Carlo (MC) codes are the best...
متن کاملEvaluation of multifunctional targeted gold nanoparticles on X-ray attenuation in nasopharyngeal cancer cells by X- ray imaging
Introduction: Head-and-neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide with the number of cases consistently increasing in developing countries. Successful development of effective, safe and cost effective nanoprobes for head-and-neck cancer targeting imaging is a big challenge. This study is aimed to develop cysteamine-folate conjugated gold nanoparticles (F-Cys-AuNPs) a...
متن کاملShort-pulse, high-brightness X-ray production with the PLEIADES Thomson-scattering source
PLEIADES is a compact, tunable, high-brightness, ultra-short-pulse, Thomson-scattering X-ray source. Picosecond pulses of hard X-rays (10–200 keV) are created by colliding an ultra-relativistic (20–100 MeV), picosecond-duration electron beam with a high-intensity, sub-picosecond, 800-nm laser pulse. Initial operation of this source has produced 78-keV X-rays with 106 photons per pulse using a 5...
