  1. 7. Synchrotron Radiation in use for cultural heritage studies
    Dr Phillippe Walter (CR2MF, Paris, France)
    04/07/2011, 14:00
    Applications
    Oral presentation
    The study of Cultural Heritage materials requires advanced techniques to shed new lights on ancient technologies and help in their preservation. The implementation of new analytical tools, including large or medium scale facilities such as synchrotron radiation, charge particle accelerators, neutron sources, etc. permits a deep insight on the archaeological and artistic materials, from the...

  2. 190. A Novel Energy-resolving High-speed X-ray Camera as a Powerful Tool in the Full-Field X-ray Analysis of Materials and Biological Samples
    Mr Ivan Ordavo (PNSensor GmbH)

    Applications
    Oral presentation
    A new energy-resolving X-ray camera capable of time-, energy-, and space-resolved measurements has been developed. This new device is built around a high-speed pnCCD detector. A poly-capillary optics can be attached in front of a beryllium entrance window to conduct X-ray photons from the probe to distinct pixels onto the detector. For the detection of light elements, a thinner Be-window can...

  3. 207. Low-energy X-ray detection with an in-vacuum PILATUS detector
    Dr Julien Marchal (Diamond Light Source)

    Applications
    Oral presentation
    The feasibility of using PILATUS single-X-ray-photon counting detectors for long-wavelength macromolecular crystallography was investigated by carrying out a series of experiments at the Diamond Light Source. Results on detection threshold equalization at low-energy (with 2.3 to 3.7 keV X-rays) obtained with a PILATUS operated in helium environment were presented in reference [1]. To...

  4. 170. Patient position verification in ion beam therapy using pencil beam radiography
    Mr Lucas Huber (German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ))
    04/07/2011, 15:15
    Applications
    Oral presentation
    The basic rationale for radiation therapy using ion beams is its high local precision of dose deposition. Due to the steep gradients in dose distribution precise knowledge of the patient's position and potential tumor displacement becomes even more important than in conventional therapy using photon beams. Therefore accurate patient positioning prior and during beam application is a crucial...
