Download or read book Multiple Scattering Effects on the Dynamics and Radiation of Fast Charged Particles in Crystals Transients in the Nuclear Burning Wave Reactor written by Alex Fomin and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coherent effects in the high energy particle interaction with crystals open up new opportunities for accelerating and detecting techniques. The effective electromagnetic fields that arise in this case can exceed a thousand times the fields that are now attainable at experimental installations. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the theoretical study of the multiple scattering effects on the dynamics and radiation of high energy charged particles in crystals. One of the goals of this study is to find optimal conditions to carry out the measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the charmed Lambda Baryon at the LHC. Due to the short lifetime of this particle the only way to provide such a measurement is to use a bent crystal, which can imitate the magnetic field of order of thousand Tesla. The optimization of the parameters for an experimental setup was carried out on the basis of computer simulation of the Lamda Baryon passage through a bent crystal using the binary collisions model, taking in to account incoherent scattering on thermal vibrations of atoms at lattice nodes, and scattering on an electronic subsystem of a crystal. The results of the research conducted in the thesis give an optimistic forecast for the possibility of carrying out such an experiment at the LHC and became the basis of the corresponding proposal. The multiple scattering effects of the thesis. This study is performed in the framework of classical electrodynamics approach for describing the relativistic particle radiation and the computer simulation of fast charged particles passing through a crystal using the above-mentioned model. It is shown, that the spectral-angular distribution and the polarization characteristics of radiation essentially differ from the results of the Bethe-Heitler theory. The conditions for the experimental observation of these effects are presented. The second part of the thesis is devoted to the study of transient processes in advanced fast reactor breeder working in a self-sustained nuclear burning wave (NBW) regime. It is a new concept of nuclear fission reactors with the so-called “intrinsic safety”, in which the development of uncontrolled chain nuclear reaction is impossible due to the physical principles of reactor operation. The promising concepts of NBW reactor in the case of its implementation allows to utilize the depleted Uranium and provides the treatment of long-lived radioactive waste. This study is based on numerical solving the non-stationary non-linear diffusion equation of neutron transport together with a set of the burn-up equations for fuel components and the equations of nuclear kinetics for precursor nuclei of delayed neutrons using effective multi-group approach. The model of cylindrical homogeneous reactor with metallic fuel of U-Pu, Th-U and mixed Th-U-Pufuel cycles is considered in the framework of the buckling concept. As a result of these studies the existence of the NBW mode in the case of mixed Th-U-Pu fuel and its essential advantages are demonstrated; the detailed analysis of a special kind of the negative reactivity feedback that is inherent to the NBW regime and underlies the “intrinsic safety” of such a reactor is performed; the scenarios of a smooth start-up, forced shutdown and subsequent restart of the NBW reactor are developed.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probing matter with beams of photons, neutrons and electrons provides the main source of information about both the microscopic and macroscopic structure of materials. This is particularly true of media, such as crystals and liquid crystals, that have a periodic structure. This book discusses the interaction of waves (which may represent x-rays, gamma rays, electrons, or neutrons) with various kinds of ordered media. After two chapters dealing with exact and approximate solutions to the scattering problem in periodic media in general, the author discusses: the diffraction of Mößbauer radiation in magnetically ordered crystals; the optics of chiral liquid crystals; the radiation of fast particles in regular media (Cherenkov radiation); nonlinear optics of periodic media; neutron scattering in magnetically ordered media; polarization phenomena in x-ray optics; magnetic x-ray scattering; and Mößbauer filtration of synchrotron radiation.

Download or read book M ssbauer Spectroscopy II written by U. Gonser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some newly discovered effects lose their glamor after a short period of euphoria. Others, however, retain their fascination for a long time and, even as they mature, display unexpected features. The Mossbauer effect belongs to the second category. Rudolf Mossbauer's discovery of recoilless gamma-ray emission in 1957 immediately caused a flurry of attention, and confirming work appeared almost at once. Since then the flow of publications has steadily increased. Most studies follow predict abl e paths; the essential aspects of these "conventional" experiments have been described in the first volume of the present work (Mossbauer Spectroscopy, Topics in Applied Physics, Vol. 5). These straightforward investigations have not, however, exhausted the field, boredom has not set in, and unexpected applications continue to appear. In the present volume, Uli Gonser has collected contributions that display the "exotic" side of the Mossbauer effect. They range from a masterly de scription of the red-shift experiment to a clear exposition of a powerful solution to the old and painful phase problem in crystallography. Each of the contributions exhibits a different side of recoilless gamma-ray emission. Together they show that the field is very much alive and continues to delight us with elegant solutions to old problems, unanticipated glimpses at new phenomena, clever uses of new technical possibilities, and ingenious applications to fields far away from physics. I believe that novel features of the Mossbauer effect will continue to appear and that new applications will still be found.

Download or read book Parametric X Ray Radiation in Crystals written by Vladimir G. Baryshevsky and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-20 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This systematic and comprehensive monograph is devoted to parametric X-ray radiation (PXR). This radiation is generated by the motion of electrons inside a crystal, whereby the emitted photons are diffracted by the crystal and the radiation intensity critically depends on the parameters of the crystal structure. Nowadays PXR is the subject of numerous theoretical and experimental studies throughout the world. The first part of the book is a theoretical treatment of PXR, which includes a new approach to describe the radiation process in crystals. The second part is a survey of PXR experimental results and the possible applications of PXR as a tool for crystal structure analysis and a source of tunable X-ray radiation.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in 1989, while most of us were gathered in the Mediterranean five-centuries-old city of Alacant, the idea of a school on stopping and particle penetration phenomena came to our minds. Later that year when discussing this plan with some of the participants in the 13th International Conference on Atomic Collisions in Solids in Aarhus, we were pleased to note that the proposal was warmly welcomed indeed by the community. An Advanced Study Institute on this or a related subject had not been organized in the last decade. Because of the progress made particularly in the interaction of high energy beams with matter, and the many applications which the general subject of the stopping of charged particles (ions and electrons) in matter enjoys, a Study Institute appeared a worthy enterprise. Even though several international conference series cover developments in these areas, they miss tutorial introductions to the field. The title chosen was Interaction of Charged Particles with Solids and Surfaces, and the objectives were stated as follows: "to cover theory and experiments, including selected applications and hot topics, of the stopping of charged particles (ions and electrons) in matter. The emphasis will be on outlining the areas where further effort is needed, and on specifying the basic needs in applications. Fundamental concepts will prevail over applications, and the character of the Institute as a school will be stressed. " The school was directed by Fernando Flores (Spain), Herbert M. Urbassek (Germany), Nestor R.

Download or read book Novel Lights Sources Beyond Free Electron Lasers written by Andrei Korol and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-09 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses possibilities and perspectives for designing and practical realization of novel intensive gamma-ray crystal-based light sources that can be constructed through exposure of oriented crystals—linear, bent and periodically bent, to beams of ultrarelativistic positrons and electrons. The book shows case studies like the tunable light sources based on periodically bent crystals that can be designed with the state-of-the-art beam facilities. A special focus is given to the analysis of generation of the gamma rays because the current technologies based on particle motion in the magnetic field become inefficient or incapable to achieve the desired gamma rays’ intensities. It is demonstrated that the intensity of radiation from crystal-based light sources can be made comparable to or even higher than what is achievable in conventional synchrotrons and undulators operating although in the much lower photon energy range. By exploring the coherence effects, the intensity can be boosted by orders of magnitude. The practical realization of such novel light sources will lead to the significant technological breakthroughs and societal impacts similar to those created earlier by the developments of lasers, synchrotrons and X-rays free-electron lasers. Readers learn about the underlying fundamental physics and familiarize with the theoretical, experimental and technological advances made during last two decades in exploring various features of investigations into crystal-based light sources. This research draws upon knowledge from many research fields, such as material science, beam physics, physics of radiation, solid-state physics and acoustics, to name but a few. The authors provide a useful introduction in this emerging field to a broad readership of researchers and scientists with various backgrounds and, accordingly, make the book as self-contained as possible.
