Reconstruction Of 3d Image For Particles By The Method Of Angular Correlations From Xfel Data, Sung Soon Kim Dec 2016

Reconstruction Of 3d Image For Particles By The Method Of Angular Correlations From Xfel Data, Sung Soon Kim

Theses and Dissertations

The world’s first X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL), the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), is now generating X-ray pulses of unprecedented brilliance (one billion times brighter than the most powerful existing sources), and at the amazing rate of only a few femtoseconds. The first such experiments are being performed on relatively large objects such as viruses, which produce low resolution, low-noise diffraction patterns on the basis of the so called “diffraction before destruction” principle. Despite the promise of using XFEL for the determination of the structures of viruses, the results so far from …

A high-statistics measurement of bremsstrahlung emitted in the α decay of 210Po has been performed, which allows us to follow the photon spectra up to energies of ~500keV. The measured differential emission probability is in good agreement with our theoretical results obtained within the quasiclassical approximation as well as with the exact quantum mechanical calculation. It is shown that, due to the small effective electric dipole charge of the radiating system, a significant interference between the electric dipole and quadrupole contributions occurs, which is altering substantially the angular correlation between the α particle and the emitted photon.


The Electron-Photon Coincidence Method And Its Application To Excitation Of The 2p State Of Atomic Hydrogen, Hüseyi̇n Ali̇ Yalim, Albert Crowe Jan 2002

The Electron-Photon Coincidence Method And Its Application To Excitation Of The 2p State Of Atomic Hydrogen, Hüseyi̇n Ali̇ Yalim, Albert Crowe

Turkish Journal of Physics

Early measurements of atomic excitation by electron scattering observed either the scattered electron or decay photon. An excited state can not be completely defined by such experiments due to loss of information. Therefore a new method was developed in the early 70's called the correlation method. The new correlation method involves the detection of both the scattered electron and photon arising from the same collision using coincidence techniques. This method enables a full description of an excited state. In this paper, we give a discussion of to the method and its application to excitation of the 2p state of atomic …


Autoionization Resonances In The Simultaneous Excitation-Ionization Of Helium, Mevlut Dogan, Albert Crowe Jan 2001

Autoionization Resonances In The Simultaneous Excitation-Ionization Of Helium, Mevlut Dogan, Albert Crowe

Turkish Journal of Physics

The effect of autoionizing states on excitation-ionization processes has been investigated experimentally by observation of the electron impact ionization process leading to He^{ + }(2p) with the excitation energy region in helium corresponding to doubly excitated states above the second ionization threshold. Also, the process arising from the decay of the doubly excited `parity unfavoured' (2p^{2})^{3}P state of helium, is studied.
