Studies of solar and stellar convection often employ simple polytropic setups using the diffusion approximation instead of solving the proper radiative transfer equation. This allows one to control separately the polytropic index of the…
We have developed a simulation-based method of spectral analysis for pile-up affected data of X-ray CCDs without any loss of photon statistics. As effects of the photon pile-up appear as complicated nonlinear detector responses, we employ a…
Microdosimetry provides a superior characterization of the radiation field compared to conventional LET-based methodology, and for this reason it has become increasingly attractive for quality assurance in particle therapy. However, the…
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging modality that utilizes positron-emitting isotopes, such as Ga-68 and F-18, for many diagnostic purposes. The positron annihilates with an electron from the surrounding area, creating…
We develop a novel peak detection algorithm for the analysis of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC$\times$GC-TOF MS) data using normal-exponential-Bernoulli (NEB) and mixture probability…
The soft MeV gamma-ray sky, from a few hundred keV up to several MeV, is one of the least explored regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The most promising technology to access this energy range is a telescope that uses Compton…
The determination of relative stopping power (RSP) via proton computed tomography (pCT) of a patient is dependent in part on the knowledge of the incoming proton kinetic energies; the uncertainty in these energies is in turn determined by…
A new method of pulse shape discrimination (PSD) for BEGe detectors is developed to suppress Compton-continuum by digital pulse shape analysis (PSA), which helps reduce the Compton background level in gamma ray spectrometry. A decision…
We revisit the description of inverse Compton scattering sources and the photon beams generated therein, emphasizing the behavior of their phase space density distributions and how they depend upon those of the two colliding beams of…
Background: Edge-on-irradiated silicon detectors are currently being investigated for use in photon-counting CT applications. The low atomic number of silicon leads to a significant number of incident photons being Compton scattered in the…
A Geant4-based Monte Carlo model for Heavy-Ion Therapy (MCHIT) is used to study radiation fields of H-1, He-4, Li-7 and C-12 beams with similar ranges (~160-180 mm) in water. Microdosimetry spectra are simulated for wall-less and walled…
Diagnostics are critical on the path to commercial fusion reactors, since measurements and characterisation of the plasma is important for sustaining fusion reactions. Gamma spectroscopy is commonly used to provide information about the…
For long time non-pure beta emitters are avoided from PET imaging due to extra dose and increase in background from Compton scattering. But advent of high-resolution Compton camera system opens up new domain of imaging. Various non-pure…
The measurement of gamma-rays from decaying nuclei allow for the investigation into nuclear structure. True coincidence summing occurs when two gamma-rays from a single decay get detected in a single detector and their energies sum together…
We propose PET scanners using low atomic number media that undergo a persistent local change of state along the paths of the Compton recoil electrons. Measurement of the individual scattering locations and angles, deposited energies, and…
The potential to perform attenuation and scatter compensation (ASC) in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging using only the SPECT emission data is highly significant. In this context, attenuation in SPECT is primarily…
Compton scattering is the nonresonant inelastic scattering of an x-ray photon by an electron and has been used to probe the electron momentum distribution in gas-phase and condensed-matter samples. In the low x-ray intensity regime, Compton…
Microdosimetry investigates the energy deposition of ionizing radiation at microscopic scales, beyond the assessment capabilities of macroscopic dosimetry. This contributes to an understanding of the biological response in radiobiology,…
In this paper we investigate, with a detailed Monte-Carlo simulation based on Geant4, the novel approach [Nucl. Instrum. Methods A588 (2008) 457] to 3D imaging with photon scattering. A monochromatic and well collimated gamma beam is used…
Numerical simulations of radiative processes in magnetized compact sources such as hot accretion disks around black holes, relativistic jets in active galaxies and gamma-ray bursts are complicated because the particle and photon…
