Book Description
These proceedings comprise invited and contributed papers presented at the 14th International Conference on X-Ray Lasers (ICXRL 2014). This conference is part of a continuing series dedicated to recent developments and applications of x-ray lasers and other coherent x-ray sources with attention to supporting technologies and instrumentation. New results in the generation of intense, coherent x-rays and progress toward practical devices and their applications in numerous fields are reported. Areas of research in plasma-based x-ray lasers, 4th generation accelerator-based sources and higher harmonic generation, and other x-ray generation schemes are covered. The scope of ICXRL 2014 included, but was not limited to: Laser-pumped X-ray lasers Discharge excitation and other X-ray laser pumping methods Injection/seeding of X-ray amplifiers New lasing transitions and novel X-ray laser schemes High Harmonic sources-Free-electron laser generation in the XUV and X-ray range Novel schemes for coherent XUV and X-ray generation XUV and X-ray optics and metrology-Driving laser technology Theory and modeling of X-ray gain medium and beam characteristics Applications of high brightness and ultrashort X-ray sources

Radiation characteristics of extreme UV and soft X-ray sources

Pages : 154
Book Description
Electromagnetic radiation in the extreme UV and soft x-ray spectral range is of steadily increasing importance in fundamental research and industrial applications. An optimum use of the available photons can only be achieved under condition of a comprehensive beam characterization. Following that goal, this work addresses the pathway of extreme UV and soft x-ray radiation from its generation, through the beam transport by the beamline to the probe position. Experimentally, those aspects are optimized at a laser-produced plasma source and at an arrangement for the generation of high-harmonics. Additionally, the coherence of laser beams is analyzed by measurements of the Wigner distribution function. This method is applied to the photon beam of the free-electron laser FLASH, resulting in the entire characterization of its propagation properties.
Computed Tomography
Author: Willi A. KalenderPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3895786446
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
The book offers a comprehensive and user-oriented description of the theoretical and technical system fundamentals of computed tomography (CT) for a wide readership, from conventional single-slice acquisitions to volume acquisition with multi-slice and cone-beam spiral CT. It covers in detail all characteristic parameters relevant for image quality and all performance features significant for clinical application. Readers will thus be informed how to use a CT system to an optimum depending on the different diagnostic requirements. This includes a detailed discussion about the dose required and about dose measurements as well as how to reduce dose in CT. All considerations pay special attention to spiral CT and to new developments towards advanced multi-slice and cone-beam CT. For the third edition most of the contents have been updated and latest topics like dual source CT, dual energy CT, flat detector CT and interventional CT have been added. The enclosed CD-ROM again offers copies of all figures in the book and attractive case studies, including many examples from the most recent 64-slice acquisitions, and interactive exercises for image viewing and manipulation. This book is intended for all those who work daily, regularly or even only occasionally with CT: physicians, radiographers, engineers, technicians and physicists. A glossary describes all the important technical terms in alphabetical order.

Potential Characteristics and Applications of X-Ray Lasers

Languages : en
Pages : 41
Book Description
This is primarily a limited review lof research on X-ray lasers and of the applications which may be possible when a source is available which emits short, monochromatic and intense pulses as coherent X-rays. Some of the progress toward producing short-wavelength coherent radiation, either by direct laser action or by frequency manipulation, is summarized. Reports of X-ray laser action and spectroscopic evidence for relevant population inversions are discussed. Potential X-ray laser characteristics, which are derived from the work to date and which will determine applications, are discussed. Included is a comparison with two other bright X-ray sources, namely multi-million degree plasma and GeV electron storage rings. One section is concerned with the heating which will occur when an X-ray laser pulse strikes condensed matter. A simple calculational technique and some results are given there. Possible areas of X-ray laser usage are reviewed. The final section discusses geometries which may be favorable for production of X-ray laser action, and multi-layer reflectors which may make possible short-wavelengths resonators.
