AbstractSymmetric and triangle-shaped flux variability in X-ray and gamma-ray light curves is observed from many blazars. We derived the X-ray spectrum changing in time by using a kinetic equation of high energy electrons. Giving linearly changing the injection of low energy electrons into accelerating and emitting region, we obtained the preliminary results that represent the characteristic X-ray variability of the linear flux increase with hardening in the rise phase and the linear decrease with softening in the decay phase.

Low Energy Electrons

Recent experiments with X-rays and high energy electrons have shown that image recovery from diffracted intensities is possible for non-periodic objects using iterative algorithms. Application of these methods to biological molecules raises the crucial problem of radiation damage, which may be quantified by Q = ΔE σi/σe, the amount of energy deposited by inelastic events per elastic event. Neutrons, helium atoms and low energy electrons below most ionization thresholds produce the smallest values of Q (see for TMV imaged at 60 eV). For neutrons (λ = 10-2Å, and deuterated, 15N-abelled molecules) Q is ∼3000 times smaller (∼50 times for λ = 1.8Å) than for electrons (80- 500keV) and about 4x 106 times smaller than for soft X-rays (1.5Å). Since σe for neutrons is about 105 times smaller than for electrons (and about 10 times smaller than for soft X-rays), a 105 times higher neutron dose is required to obtain the same S/N in a phase contrast image compared with electrons, if other noise sources are absent.

AbstractElectric force is presently the only means in laboratory to accelerate charged particles to high energies, corresponding acceleration processes are classical and continuous. Here we report on how to accelerate electrons and positrons to high energies using ultra intense lasers (UIL) through two quantum processes, nonlinear Compton scattering and nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process. In the coherent photon dominated regime of these two processes, the former can effectively boost electrons/positrons and the latter can produce high energy electrons and positrons with low energy γ photons. The energy needed for such quantum acceleration (QA) is transferred from large numbers of coherent laser photons through the two quantum processes. QA also collimate the generated high energy electrons and positrons along the laser axis and the effective acceleration distance is of microscopic dimensions. Proof of principle QA experiment can be performed on 100 petawatt (PW) scale lasers which are in building or planning.

Low Energy Electrons

Low energy radiation can be produced by all types of high energy radiation. Studies of low energy particle radiation help us to understand the chemistry induced by high energy radiations. Low energy electrons are capable of chemical selectivity in contrast to high energy electrons due to the large number of open dissociative channels in the former case and their resonant nature. Among different types of radiation, low energy electrons have a higher cross-section to DNA damage and they have an important role in the synergistic effect between radiation and chemotherapy anticancer agents in cancer treatment. Analysis of these combined records helps assign function of cells, identify metabolic and regulatory pathways and suggest targets for diagnostics and therapeutics identify animal models to develop new drugs, among other goals of biomedical interest.

<p>The geomagnetic activity can modulate the number and energy fluxes of precipitation and their spatial distributions. Most previous studies examined precipitation in terms of energy spectrum types associated with quasi-static potential structures (QSPS) acceleration, Alfvénic acceleration, and wave scattering under various geomagnetic conditions. In this study, we instead categorize precipitation according to energy channels of particles. The spatial distribution of the precipitation for various energy channels is also derived under different geomagnetic conditions. Our results indicate that regardless of active and quiet times, low-energy (high-energy) precipitation is mostly distributed on the dayside (nightside). By comparing with past results, we infer that electron precipitation is mainly caused by QSPS and Alfvénic acceleration for most cases; however, the high-energy electrons during quiet times are predominantly created by wave scattering. For high-energy precipitation, the dawn-dusk asymmetry of the spatial distribution during active times is found to be opposite of that during quiet times. Based on their spatial distributions, we suggest that the high-energy precipitation during quiet times is dominated by the curvature and gradient drifts, while that during active times is mainly affected by physical processes related to substorms in the magnetotail.</p>

ABSTRACTAluminum films containing solid Xe precipitates have been subjected to 1 MeV electron irradiation in a high-voltage electron microscope. High-resolution images have been recorded on videotape in order to monitor the changes to the system resulting from the passage of electrons through the film. Inspection of the video recordings reveals that complex, rapid processes occur under the electron beam. These include shape changes, the creation and movement of extended defects within the Xe lattice, movement of small clusters, coalescence of neighboring clusters and the apparent melting and resolidification of the Xe. An interpretation of many of the observations is presented in terms of the interaction of the nanoclusters with defects created in the aluminum by the high-energy electrons.
