Preliminary experimental study and simulation of an energy-tunable quasi-monochromatic laser-Compton X/γ-ray source

We propose a slanting collision scheme for Compton scattering of a laser light against a relativistic electron beam. This scheme is suitable to generate an energy-tunable X/γ-ray source. In this paper, we present theoretical study and simulation of the spectral, spatial and temporal characteristics of such a source. We also describe two terms laser-Compton scattering (LCS) experiments at the 100 MeV Linac of Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, where quasi-monochromatic LCS X-ray energy spectra with peak energies of ～30 keV are observed successfully. These preliminary investigations are carried out to understand the feasibility of developing an energy-tunable quasi-monochromatic X/γ-ray source, the future Shanghai Laser Electron Gamma Source.

On the surface brightness radial profile of the extendedγ-ray sources

The morphology of the extendedγ-ray source is governed by the propagation process of parent relativistic particles.In this paper,we investigate the surface brightness radial profile of extendedγ-ray sources illuminated by cosmic ray protons and electrons,considering the radiation mechanisms,projection effects,and the response of instruments.We find that the parent particle species and the propagation process can cause considerable differences in the observed radial profiles.Thus,the surface brightness profile can be used as a unique tool to identify the radiation mechanism and the propagation process of the parent particles.In addition,we also discuss the possible implications regarding the latest discoveries from very/ultra-high energyγ-ray instruments like LHAASO and HAWC.     

The effects of ⁶⁰Co γ-ray irradiation on the DC characteristics of enhancement-mode AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistors

The effects of 60Co γ-ray irradiation on the DC characteristics of AlGaN/GaN enhancement-mode high-electron-mobility transistors (E-mode HEMTs) are investigated. The results show that having been irradiated by 60Co γ-rays at a dose of 3 Mrad (Si), the E-mode HEMT reduces its saturation drain current and maximal transconductance by 6% and 5%, respectively, and significantly increases both forward and reverse gate currents, while its threshold voltage is affected only slightly. The obvious performance degradation of E-mode AlGaN/GaN HEMTs is consistent with the creation of electronegative surface state charges in the source-gate spacer and gate-drain spacer after being irradiated.

An approach to evaluate the efficiency of γ-ray detectors to determine the radioactivity in environmental samples

This work provides an approach to determine the efficiency of γ-ray detectors with a good accuracy in order to determine the concentrations of either naturally occurring or artificially prepared radionuclides. This approach is based on the efficiency transfer formula(ET), the effective solid angles, the self- absorptions of the source matrix, the attenuation by the source container and the detector housing materials on the detector efficiency. The experimental calibration process was done using radioactive(Cylindrical Marinelli) sources, in different dimensions,that contain aqueous152 Eu radionuclide. The comparison point to a fine agreement between the experimental measured and calculated efficiencies for the(NaI HPGe) detectors using volumetric radioactive sources.

Quantum mechanics simulation and experimental study of adhesive interaction and aggregation of carbon-silicate nanoparticles—reinforcing fillers of polymer composites

Nanoparticles are widely used as polymer composite-reinforcing additives—fillers. Understanding the interaction mechanisms and regularities responsible for nanoparticle aggregation is of great significance for elucidating the nature of reinforcing of polymer composites. The paper reports on quantum mechanics calculations and full-scale experimental study of adhesive interaction of carbon and silicate adsorption complexes (nanomodels of active filler particles of polymer composites). The quantum mechanics approach allowed describing the adhesive properties of particle aggregates reasoning from nanoscopic structure of their surface. The quantum mechanics data were checked for adequacy on schungite—a natural mineral containing carbon and silicate. Schungite microparticles were milled to nanosizes by colloidal grinding in various disperse liquid media (alcohol, acetone, water) and the structure and properties of aggregated schungite micro- and nanoparticles were studied; fractal analysis of their surface was performed. It is found that smaller aggregates of silicate and carbon particles with higher surface fractal dimension are formed in colloidal grinding with small molecular sizes of disperse media (in our case, ethanol or methanol) and this agrees with the data predicted by quantum mechanics calculations.

Improved power simulation of AlGaN/GaN HEMT at class-AB operation via an RF drain–source current correction method

A new modified Angelov current–voltage characteristic model equation is proposed to improve the drain–source current（Ids） simulation of an Al Ga N/Ga N-based（gallium nitride） high electron mobility transistor（Al Ga N/Ga N-based HEMT） at high power operation. Since an accurate radio frequency（RF） current simulation is critical for a correct power simulation of the device, in this paper we propose a method of Al Ga N/Ga N high electron mobility transistor（HEMT）nonlinear large-signal model extraction with a supplemental modeling of RF drain–source current as a function of RF input power. The improved results of simulated output power, gain, and power added efficiency（PAE） at class-AB quiescent bias of Vgs =-3.5 V, Vds= 30 V with a frequency of 9.6 GHz are presented.

Rate coefficients for the gas-phase reaction of OH radical with α-pinene: an experimental and computational study

The rate coefficient for the gas-phase reaction of OH radical with α-pinene was measured at 298 K using relative rate methods, with propylene as a reference compound. The ratio of the rate coefficient for the reaction of OH radicals with α-pinene to that of with OH radicals with propylene was measured to be 1.77 ± 0.21. Considering the absolute value of the rate coefficient of the reaction of OH radicals with propylene as (3.01 ± 0.42)×10^?11 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1, the rate coefficient for the reaction of OH radicals with α-pinene was determined to be (5.33 ± 0.79)×10^?11 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. To gain a deeper insight into the reaction mechanism, theoretical calculations were also carried out on this reaction. The rate coefficient of OH radical with α-pinene was calculated using canonical variational transition state theory with small-curvature tunnelling. The kinetics data obtained over the temperature range of 200–400 K were used to derive the Arrhenius expression: k(T) = 3.8×10^?28 T^5.2 exp[2897/T] cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. The OH-driven atmospheric lifetime (τ) and ozone formation potential of α-pinene were calculated and reported in this work.     

High-intensity and high-brightness source of moderated positrons using a brilliant γ beam

Presently, large efforts are conducted toward the development of highly brilliant γ beams via Compton back scattering of photons from a high-brilliance electron beam, either on the basis of a normal-conducting electron linac or a (super-conducting) Energy Recovery Linac (ERL). Particularly, ERLs provide an extremely brilliant electron beam, thus enabling the generation of highest-quality γ beams. A 2.5 MeV γ beam with an envisaged intensity of 10¹⁵ photons s⁻¹, as ultimately envisaged for an ERL-based γ-beam facility, narrow band width (10⁻³), and extremely low emittance (10⁻⁴ mm² mrad²) offers the possibility to produce a high-intensity bright polarized positron beam. Pair production in a face-on irradiated W converter foil (200 μm thick, 10 mm long) would lead to the emission of 2×10¹³ (fast) positrons per second, which is four orders of magnitude higher compared to strong radioactive ²²Na sources conventionally used in the laboratory. Using a stack of converter foils and subsequent positron moderation, a high-intensity low-energy beam of moderated positrons can be produced. Two different source setups are presented: a high-brightness positron beam with a diameter as low as 0.2 mm, and a high-intensity beam of 3×10¹¹ moderated positrons per second. Hence, profiting from an improved moderation efficiency, the envisaged positron intensity would exceed that of present high-intensity positron sources by a factor of 100.

Determination of the number of atoms of the long-lived nuclide 126Sn by γ-ray spectrometry

By using HPGe γ-ray spectrometry, the activity of the long-lived fission product 126Sn in a SnOB2 sample was measured. The number of 126Sn atoms and the ratio of 126Sn to Sn were calculated based on the half-life value of 2.35×105a and the chemical stoichiometry. The result of the ratio of 126Sn to Sn, （1.033±0.037）×10-8, is consistent with the results measured by the accelerator mass spectrometry （AMS） within uncertainty limits, which confirms our procedures in the measurement of 126Sn by AMS and lays a foundation for the AMS measurement of 126Sn at much lower levels.

Critical evaluation of measured pure-rotation and rotation-vibration line positions and an experimental dataset of energy levels of CO in XΣ state

All available transitions from microwave to visible region (3.8-10 440 cm⁻¹) of the ¹²C¹⁶O molecule were collected from the literature and tested using the RITZ computer code. These data have been critically analyzed and used to obtain the most complete and precise set of 2247 experimental energy levels of this molecule covering the 0-67 000 cm⁻¹ interval. These levels together with calculated correlation matrix can be used to generate the most precise list of transitions with confidence intervals for astrophysical and atmospheric applications. Comparisons with the HITRAN and GEISA databanks as well as with Goorvitch high-temperature linelist are discussed. A set of corrected HITRAN ¹²C¹⁶O transition frequencies together with 99% confidence intervals is presented; it is proposed that this should be employed as a replacement for the current HITRAN database.     

Some experimental results on the angular intensity distributions of backscattering and transmission from an isotropic P32 β source on thick and thin plane scattering media

The P³² saturation backscattering component, named side scattering bySeliger, is verified and further investigated for thin Al foils in connection with transmission, by means of a simple small solid angle Geiger counter method. Variations occurring in the side scattering angular distribution, due to surface effects, are illustrated and can explain some errors in absolute beta counting, and are related to results reported byKanter.
