The cold neutron imaging and diffraction instrument IMAT at the second target station of pulsed source ISIS is currently being commissioned prepared for user operation. will enable white-beam radiography tomography. One benefits operating on a to determine energy via time flight measurement, thus enabling energy-selective energy-dispersive imaging, maximizing image contrasts between given materials mapping structure microstructure properties. We survey hardware software components data...
We present the dimensioning of a photon-photon collider based on Compton gamma sources for observation Breit-Wheeler pair production and QED $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ events. Two symmetric electron beams, generated by photocathodes accelerated in linacs, produce two ray beams through back scattering with J-class lasers. Tuning system energy above cross section threshold, flux electron-positron pairs is out light-light interaction. The process analyzed start-to-end simulations....
We present the design of a photon-photon collider based on conventional Compton gamma sources for observation elastic $\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ scattering. Two symmetric electron beams, generated by photocathodes and accelerated in linacs, produce two primary rays through backscattering with high energy lasers. The scattering is analyzed start-to-end simulations from to detector. A new Monte Carlo code has been developed ad hoc counting QED events. Realistic numbers secondary...
Abstract Neutron Tomography (NT) is a non-destructive technique to investigate the inner structure of wide range objects and, in some cases, provides valuable results comparison more common X-ray imaging techniques. However, NT time consuming and scanning set similar during beamtime leads data redundancy long acquisition times. Nowadays unfeasible for quality checking study large quantities objects. One way decrease total scan reduce number projections. Analytical reconstruction methods are...
This work presents the first neutron characterization of artefacts from grave-goods Kha and Merit, a unique cultural treasure mankind preserved at Museo Egizio in Turin.
Neutron Tomography (NT) is an established technique to non-destructively investigate the inner structure of a wide range objects. The major drawback NT long acquisition time required perform tomographic scan compared X-ray Computed (CT) scan, due limited particle flux existing neutron sources. Therefore, in field there great interest reduction time, dictated by high neutrons production cost, aimed at optimizing beamtime use imaging beamlines. A way for decreasing total reduce number...
Some cultured and natural pearls can be reliably distinguished by visual inspection the use of lens microscope. However, assessing origin could not straightforward since many different production techniques now found in pearl market, for example salt or freshwater environments, with without a rigid nucleus. This wide range products requires new effective scientific techniques. Indeed, X-ray radiography has been used gemologists last century as only safe non-destructive way to visually...
