This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT for the study of high-mass X-ray binaries and ultra-luminous…
The translation of an early (1958), Russian article by B. I. Korenblum, S. I. Tetelbaum and A. A. Tyutin on the development of x-ray computed tomography is provided. A new method to acquire cross-sectional x-ray images is studied which is…
We present the second ROSAT all-sky survey source catalogue, hereafter referred to as the 2RXS catalogue. This is the second publicly released ROSAT catalogue of point-like sources obtained from the ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS) observations…
Brilliant X-ray sources are of great interest for many research fields from biology via medicine to material research. The quest for a cost-effective, brilliant source with unprecedented temporal resolution has led to the recent realization…
A general framework is presented which unifies the treatment of wavelet-like, quasidistribution, and tomographic transforms. Explicit formulas relating the three types of transforms are obtained. The case of transforms associated to the…
Knowledge of x-ray attenuation is essential for developing and evaluating x-ray imaging technologies. For instance, techniques to distinguish between cysts and solid tumours at mammography screening would be highly desirable to reduce…
We present the final release of the multi-wavelength XMM-LSS data set,covering the full survey area of 11.1 square degrees, with X-ray data processed with the latest XMM-LSS pipeline version. The present publication supersedes the Pierre et…
We present a new computed tomography (CT) method for inverting the Radon transform in 2D. The idea relies on the geometry of the flat torus, hence we call the new method Torus CT. We prove new inversion formulas for integrable functions,…
Purpose: The XCAT phantom allows for highly sophisticated multimodality imaging research. It includes a complete set of organs, muscle, bone, soft tissue, while also accounting for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI), which allows phantom…
Computed tomography (CT) is a beneficial imaging tool for diagnostic purposes. CT scans provide detailed information concerning the internal anatomic structures of a patient, but present higher radiation dose and costs compared to X-ray…
Machine learning techniques are being increasingly applied in medical and physical sciences across a variety of imaging modalities; however, an important issue when developing these tools is the availability of good quality training data.…
Small and wide angle x-ray scattering tensor tomography are powerful methods for studying anisotropic nanostructures in a volume-resolved manner, and are becoming increasingly available to users of synchrotron facilities. The analysis of…
Biological soft tissues encountered in clinical and pre-clinical imaging mainly consist of light element atoms, and their composition is nearly uniform with little density variation. Thus, x-ray attenuation imaging suffers from low image…
A Python package for the analysis of dark-field X-ray microscopy (DFXM) and rocking curve imaging (RCI) data is presented. \textit{darfix} provides a set of data processing and visualization tools that can be either imported as library…
An efficient advanced numerical model for mapping the distribution of the buried tree roots is presented. It not only simplify the complicate root branches to an easy manipulated model, but also grasp the main structure of tree roots…
The program package XLOOPS calculates massive one- and two-loop Feynman diagrams. It consists of five parts: i) a graphical user interface ii) routines for generating diagrams from particle input iii) procedures for calculating one-loop…
Simulating the data that a space instrument like COROT will provide might look presomptuous. Indeed, it is certainly, when comparing to previous comparable instruments like IPHIR or GOLF. These two examples show that the nominal behaviour…
The increasingly demand for machining accuracy and product quality excites a great interest in high-resolution non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, but spatial resolution of conventional high-energy computed tomography (CT) is limited to…
Whether it is fluorescence emission from asteroids and moons, solar wind charge exchange from comets, exospheric escape from Mars, pion reactions on Venus, sprite lighting on Saturn, or the Io plasma torus in the Jovian magnetosphere, the…
X-ray imaging is the most popular medical imaging technology. While x-ray radiography is rather cost-effective, tissue structures are superimposed along the x-ray paths. On the other hand, computed tomography (CT) reconstructs internal…
