Positron Source from X-rays Emitted by Plasma Betatron Motion
A new method for generating positrons has been proposed that uses betatron X-rays emitted by an electron beam in a high-K plasma wiggler. The plasma wiggler is an ion column produced by the head of the beam when the peak beam density exceeds the plasma density. The radial electric field of the beam blows out the plasma electrons transversely, creating an ion column. The focusing electric field ...
متن کاملExperimental study of hard x-rays emitted from metre-scale positive discharges in air
We investigate structure and evolution of long positive spark breakdown; and we study at which stage pulses of hard x-rays are emitted. Positive high-voltage pulses of standardized lightning impulse wave form of about 1 MV were applied to about 1 m of ambient air. The discharge evolution was imaged with a resolution of tens of nanoseconds with an intensified CCD camera. LaBr3(Ce) scintillation ...
متن کاملClinical relative biological effectiveness of low-energy x-rays emitted by miniature x-ray devices.
Several groups are developing ultra-miniature x-ray machines for clinical use in radiation therapy. Current systems are for interstitial radiosurgery and for intravascular insertion for irradiation to prevent re-stenosis. Typical generating voltages are low, in the 20 to 40 kV range. It is well established that the biological effectiveness of such low-energy photons is large compared with highe...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of DNA damage induction by x-rays and selected radioisotopes.
To better assess the potential biological consequences of diagnostic x-rays and selected gamma-emitting radioisotopes used in brachytherapy, we used the PENELOPE Monte Carlo radiation transport code to estimate the spectrum of initial electrons produced by photons in single cells and in an irradiation geometry similar to those used in cell culture experiments. We then combined estimates of the ...
متن کاملX-rays from Open Clusters
The present state of X-ray observations of cool stars in co-eval open clusters is reviewed. Concentrating on ROSAT results for solar-type stars, the available observational dataset is summarized along with those details of the evolution of X-ray activity of low mass stars which have been firmly established as a result. Observational questions which are as yet unresolved are then addressed, incl...
