The peak region of the extragalactic background radiation
نویسنده
چکیده
The Cosmic X-ray background carries the information of cosmic accretion onto super-massive black holes. The intensity at its peak can be used to constrain the integrated space density of highly obscured AGNs. Determining the shape and intensity of the Cosmic X-ray background radiation represents, however, a first step towards the understanding of the population of Comptonthick AGNs. The study of AGNs in the local and more distant Universe allows to understand the whole picture. In this talk, I will review the current understanding of generation of the Cosmic X-ray background at its peak. I will focus on the recent measurements of the Cosmic X-ray background and I will discuss the recent advancements in the understanding of AGNs in both the local and more distant Universe. Finally, I will also discuss open issues and future prospects.

Evaluation of variable relative biological effectiveness and the creation of homogenous biological dose in the tumor region in helium ion radiation to the V79 cell line
In radiation therapy, ions heavier than proton have more biological advantages than a proton beam. Recently, ion helium has been considered due to high linear energy transfer (LET) to the medium and a higher relative biological effect (RBE). To design the spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP) of biological dose for radiation with any type of ion, we need exact values of RBE, which is dependent to dose, ...
متن کاملStudying dose equivalents of radio-sensitive organs in head and neck region during nasopharynx proton therapy using Monte Carlo MCNPX code
In the present work, dose equivalents of radiosensitive organs in head and neck region have been calculated during nasopharynx proton therapy. For this purpose, a middle-size tumor was designed with the use of clinical information, and was then incorporated into the adult male ICRP phantom. According to the medical data, eight radiation paths around the neck were selected. After that, appropria...
متن کاملThe Extragalactic Neutrino Background Radiations From Blazars and Cosmic Rays
Blazar emission of gamma rays and cosmic ray production of gamma rays in gas-rich clusters have been proposed recently as alternative sources of the high energy extragalactic diffuse gamma ray background radiation. We show that these sources also produce a very different high energy extragalactic diffuse neutrino background radiation. This neutrino background may be detected by the new generati...
متن کاملMedical Image Compression Based on Region of Interest
Medical images show a great interest since it is needed in various medical applications. In order to decrease the size of medical images which are needed to be transmitted in a faster way; Region of Interest (ROI) and hybrid lossless compression techniques are applied on medical images to be compressed without losing important data. In this paper, a proposed model will be presented and assessed...
متن کاملExtragalactic gamma-ray background radiation from dark matter annihilation
If dark matter is composed of neutralinos, one of the most exciting prospects for its detection lies in observations of the gamma-ray radiation created in pair annihilations between neutralinos, a process that may contribute significantly to the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB) radiation. We here use the high-resolution MillenniumII simulation of cosmic structure formation to produce th...
