چکیده
A crystal bender for sagittal focusing has been designed for standard monochromators at SPring-8. The bender does not move the position of the crystal center when the bending radius is changed. Sagittal focusing from 40 keV to 60 keV was achieved by using Si(311) double crystals. The flux density of the focused beam measured at 40 keV was 15 times higher than that of the unfocused beam. The height deviation of the focused beam throughout the measured energy range was within +/- 0.15 mm.

Response of large area avalanche photodiodes to low energy x rays.
For an experiment to study neutron radiative beta-decay, we operated large area avalanche photodiodes (APDs) near liquid nitrogen temperature to detect x rays with energies between 0.2 keV and 20 keV. Whereas there are numerous reports of x ray spectrometry using APDs at energies above 1 keV, operation near liquid nitrogen temperature allowed us to reach a nominal threshold of 0.1 keV. However,...
متن کاملIntracerebral delivery of Carboplatin in combination with either 6 MV Photons or monoenergetic synchrotron X-rays are equally efficacious for treatment of the F98 rat glioma
BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to compare side-by-side the therapeutic efficacy of a 6-day infusion of carboplatin, followed by X-irradiation with either 6 MV photons or synchrotron X-rays, tuned above the K-edge of Pt, for treatment of F98 glioma bearing rats. METHODS Carboplatin was administered intracerebrally (i.c.) to F98 glioma bearing rats over 6 days using AlzetTM osm...
متن کاملShielding simulations for safe use of curtain electron accelerator by MCNP4C
In an electron curtain accelerator, when the electron beam passes through the titanium exit window of the accelerator chamber, X-ray photons are produced as a negative by-product of retarding accelerated electrons. Controlling the produced X-ray photons to avoid their detrimental effects or in fact, proper shielding of the accelerator is an important issue that has to be considered in the use o...
متن کاملCure of Fisher rats bearing radioresistant F98 glioma treated with cis-platinum and irradiated with monochromatic synchrotron X-rays.
High-grade gliomas are usually of poor prognosis, and conventional radiotherapy, even combined with chemotherapy, still fails to improve the survival of patients. Here, we propose an innovative therapeutic approach combining synchrotron radiation with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP). As suggested previously, monochromatic synchrotron irradiation of CDDP at 78.8 keV, just above the 78.4...
متن کاملThe BL Lac objects OQ 530 and S 5 0716 + 714 Simultaneous observations in the X – rays , radio , optical and TeV bands
We present the results of the BeppoSAX observations of two BL Lacs, OQ 530 and S5 0716+714, as part of a ToO program for the simultaneous observation at radio, optical, X–ray and TeV energies. Both sources are detected in the LECS and MECS, with S5 0716+714 visible also in the PDS band, up to about ∼ 60 keV. The X-ray spectra of both sources are better fitted by a double power–law model, with a...
