Structures in low-energy classical bremsstrahlung

چکیده
We study classical bremsstrahlung from neutral atoms and investigate the origins of the structures in the energy dependence of the differential cross section ωdσ/dω and the asymmetry parameter a2, using soft-photon limit results in terms of elastic scattering. We show that trapping features in elastic scattering do not contribute to the structures. Rather, these structures result from the suppression of contributions to the radiation from certain angular momenta at certain energies. This corresponds to the association of structures in quantum bremsstrahlung with zeroes in certain angular momentum matrix elements at certain energies.

Structures in the energy dependence of classical and quantum bremsstrahlung
A study of the origin of structures in the energy dependence of electron bremsstrahlung is presented. There is a similarity between classical and quantum results. In the quantum case a connection between zeroes of dipole matrix elements and structures in the bremsstrahlung cross section and asymmetry parameter is established. In the classical case it is found that classical trapping, which resu...
متن کاملOptimization of Bremsstrahlung imaging in Yttrium internal radiation therapy
Introduction: Treatment efficacy of radiation therapy using Yttrium-90 radionuclide is evaluated by the bremsstrahlung SPECT imaging following radiation therapy. The radioisotopic images have the ability to provide reliable activity map of 90Y distribution. But these images have a low quantitative accuracy in the 90Y bremsstrahlung SPECT imaging, therefore the optimization of...
متن کاملAn assessment of the Photon Contamination due to Bremsstrahlung Radiation in the Electron Beams of a NEPTUN 10PC Linac using a Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: In clinical electron beams, most of bremsstrahlung radiation is produced by various linac head structures. This bremsstrahlung radiation dose is influenced by the geometry and construction of every component of the linac treatment head structures. Thus, it can be expected that the amount of the contaminated photon dose due to bremsstrahlung radiation varies among different linacs,...
متن کاملBremsstrahlung imaging from the liver using the Monte Carlo simulation
Introduction: Most beta and gamma radiation radioisotopes used for treatment are not suitable for imaging. The bremsstrahlung images on a conventional gamma camera helped to localize the radionuclide within and outside of the lesion. Secondary scattering of gamma rays of higher energy and bremsstrahlung causes contamination in the energy window and reducing the contrast and resolution of the im...

Background and purpose: Imaging which is used in nuclear medicine is done using emit gamma rays whereas therapy in nuclear medicine is performed by applying radionuclide’s which emit beta radiation. Using Bremsstrahlung is a new field which is recently introduced in imaging. In the Bremsstrahlung imaging, collimator design should not be based on energy peak and whole energy spectrum should be c...
