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...

ur lives are often directed by chance occurrences. For Robert Guthrie, a lifelong interest in the cause of mental retardation came from a retarded son and a dedication to preventing mental retardation in phenylketonuria (PKU) came from the diagnosis of PKU in his wife’s mentally retarded niece. From these roots came Guthrie’s introduction f newborn screening for PKU 3 and, subsequently, to the ...

We select eight nearby AGNs which, based on previous work, appear to be Compton-thin in the line of sight. model with MYTORUS their broadband X-ray spectra from 20 individual observations $Suzaku$, accounting self-consistently for Fe K$\alpha$ emission, as well direct and scattered continuum matter finite column density solar abundance. Our configuration allows us measure global, out sight, equ...

The QCD processes that give rise to scaling violations in DIS at leading order, namely QCD Compton (QCDC) and boson–gluon fusion (BGF), also give rise to distinct jets in the final state provided that the energy and momentum transfer are large enough. These processes are illustrated in Fig. 1. Both BGF and QCDC depend on αs(MZ), but the BGF process also depends directly on the gluon parton dist...

It has been recently proposed [1] to use polarization of Compton scattered γrays to improve the imaging performance of Compton telescopes. Building upon that work, we detected the aforementioned polarization in a sample of 1.836 MeV γ-rays from the LXeGRIT Compton telescope. Here we present the measurement, together with detector oriented considerations on the application of the principle to a ...
