High contract femtosecond laser-driven intense hard X-ray source for imaging application

November 18, 2009
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, L.M Chen, W.M. Wang, M. Kando, F Liu, X.X. Lin, J.L Ma, Y.T. Li, S.V. Bulanvo, T. Tajima, Y. Kato, Z.M. Sheng, J Zhang
In this report we address the current situation of laser-driven hard X-ray sources for imaging applications,especially the saturation of X-ray conversion efficiency and the serious impact upon imaging quality.By employing high contrast laser pulses,the

Development of secondary standards for radium-223

November 5, 2009
Author(s)
Denis E. Bergeron, Brian E. Zimmerman, Jeffrey T. Cessna
223Ra is a bone-seeking alpha emitter, and as such is currently being evaluated as a radiopharmaceutical for the treatment of skeletal metastases. In the clinical setting, dosage measurements are typically achieved with reentrant ionization chambers

Effects of high intensity neutron flux on in-situ spin-exchange optical pumping of He-3

September 17, 2009
Author(s)
Thomas R. Gentile, E Babcock, Stephen Boag, C. Becham, T E. Chupp, Gordon L. Jones, A K. Petukhov, T G. Walker
Prior studies revealed neutron beam-induced alkali-metal spin relaxation in 3He cells polarized in-situ by spin-exchange optical pumping. These effects are minor for neutron beams of low to moderate intensity, but become important at the highest neutron

Optimizing the Dynamic Range Extension of a Radiochromic Film Dosimetry System

February 28, 2009
Author(s)
Slobodan Devic, Tomic Nada, Christopher G. Soares, Ervin Podgorsak
We present a radiochromic film dosimetry protocol for a multi-color channel radiochromic film dosimetry system consisting for the EBT model GAFCHROMIC(TM) film and the Epson Expression 1680 flat-bed document scanner. Instead of extracting only the red

Making Kilopixel X-Ray Microcalorimeter Arrays a Reality

February 9, 2009
Author(s)
William B. Doriese, Megan E. Eckart
To enable unprecedented imaging X-ray spectroscopy, scientists at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and the National Institute of Standards and Technology are developing arrays of high-resolution microcalorimeters and their readout.

Synchrotron Radiation Based Irradiance Calibration From 200 nm to 400 nm at SURF III

January 1, 2007
