The Čerenkov-Compton effect in particle physics

نویسنده

  • Miroslav Pardy
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 for pair of photons with one moving at the opposite direction to the electron motion and the second one inside Čerenkov cone. The opposite motion is not caused by the collision with a particle of a medium. The relation of this process to the CERN experiments is considered.

An iterative method to estimate x-ray attenuation coefficients in computed tomography

Introduction: The basis of image formation in Computed Tomography (CT) lies in the x-ray linear attenuation coefficient of the scanned material. Compton scattering and photoelectric effect are the dominant interactions of the x-ray photons with the subject, in the range of diagnostic radiology. These two coefficients are important in tissue characterization by Dual-Energy CT (D...

Unfolding X-ray spectrum in the diagnostic range using the Monte Carlo Code MCNP5

Introduction: Unfolding X-ray spectrum is a powerful tool for quality control of X-ray tubes. Generally, the acquisition of the X-ray spectrum in diagnostic radiology departments is complicated and difficult due to high photon flux. Measurement of x ray spectra using radiation detectors could not be performed accurately, because of the pulse pile up. Therefore, indirect methods...

Homework #10 Geant4 Simulations for Compton Scattering in Aluminum

Compton scattering models in Geant4 are the following: a.) G4ComptonScattering: listed as ”compt” in the process name. No Rayleigh scattering in the model. b.) G4LowEnergyCompton: Process name is ”LowEnCompton” in the tracking code. It has errors in the treatment of Rayleigh scattering and does not account for Doppler broadening (the effect of bound electron momentum on the scattered particle e...
