Confocal Scanner for Vertical Particle Tracks in the Nuclear Photoemulsion
نویسنده
چکیده
A confocal scanner for selective observation of the vertical particle tracks in the nuclear photoemulsion is described. The particle track being searched for is imaging at an angle of 45◦ with respect to the optical axis of the system. The confocal scanner is provided with a new optical element, an ®image orthogonalizator ̄, by means of which the extended image of the inclined vertical particle track is rotated through an angle of 90◦. The stereoscopic version of the confocal scanner is presented as well. The described systems will be used in the experiments for investigation of the neutrino oscillations in the accelerators experiments.

Proton beam dosimetry by CR-39 track-etched detector
Background: High and intermediate energy protons are not able to form a track in a solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) directly. However, such tracks can be formed through secondary particles created during primary radiation nuclear reactions in a SSNTD. Materials and Methods: The protons with primary energies of 9.6 and 30 MeV available at the cyclotron accelerator with corresponding lo...
متن کاملThe analysis of nuclear tracks with confocal microscopy and image restoration
To measure radiation damage of particles with high energy and charge in space, radiosensitive plastics are used, in which particles leave damage tracks where they pass. These tracks are then etched, after which they have a typical cone shape. The geometrical parameters of these cones give information about energy and charge of the particles. To measure these parameters, the tracks are recorded ...

Combined PET/CT scanners now play a major role in medicine for in vivo imaging in oncology, cardiology, neurology, and psychiatry. As the performance of a scanner depends not only on the scintillating material but also on the scanner design, with regards to the advent of newer scanners, there is a need to optimize acquisition protocols as well as to compare scanner ...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of Fence Performance for Reduction of Sand Deposition on Railway Tracks
Movement of sand particles in nature creates many problems for humans. One of these problems is deposition of particles on rails that decrease the speed of the train or in some cases hampers the reversal of the train rails. In this paper the motion of sand particles over a railway track embankment, and how these particles settle on railway tracks are investigated. Moreover,the performance of di...
