The Čerenkov-Compton effect
نویسنده
چکیده
The two-photon production by motion of a charged particle in a medium is considered. This process is called Čerenkov-Compton effect (ČCE) because the production of photons is calculated from the Feynman diagram for the Compton effect in a medium. This process is not forbidden in quantum electrodynamics of dielectric media.The cross section of this process in Mandelstam variables is calculated. The relation of this process to the CERN experiments is considered.

متن کاملStudy of the Compton scattering effect of soft tissue in PET imaging by Monte Carlo method
Introduction:In PET imaging, one or both of two annihilation photons may change the direction before reaching the detector due to Compton scattering interaction in body. .Methods:This article, a Monte Carlo simulation study, examined the effect of soft tissue on this error.In this work, the PET BiographTM 6 scanner, a simple geometry of soft tissue -including a sphere of soft tissue in center ...
متن کاملOptical simulation and experimental measurement of gamma ray energy spectrum of plastic scintillators with different sizes
The application of large plastic scintillators is widely increasing in the different areas of industry, medicine and security due to technical and economic advantages. One of the main disadvantages of these detectors is the unknown position of Compton edge at gamma ray spectrum. In this research, GEANT4/GATE code has been used to simulate the gamma ray spectrum for different volumes of large pl...

متن کاملاثر تغییر تابع توزیع انرژی فوتونها بر شرایط احتراق سوخت هم مولار دوتریوم- تریتیوم
At the beginning of thermonuclear ignition in fusion plasma, the bremsstrahlung radiation is dominant phenomenon, the photons distribution function is Planckian and plasma is considered as optically thick one. But at a certain energy, the bremsstrahlung radiation and Compton scattering losses rates become equal and plasma makes a transition from optically thick to optically thin and photons dis...
