摘要:
A target (30) placed in a vacuum chamber (60) is irradiated with laser beam (L1) that is outputted from a laser beam source (10) while being condensed through a condensation optical system (20). Consequently, high-speed particles (P), e.g. protons, are generated and emitted from the target (30). Plasma emission (L2) from the target (30) incident to condensed irradiation with the laser beam (L1) is measured by means of a light measuring instrument (40) and a measurement signal therefrom is analyzed by means of an analyzer (50), thus evaluating the generating condition of high-speed particles (P). Based on the results of analysis, the condensation optical system (20) and the target (30) are controlled through an optical system moving mechanism (25) and a target moving mechanism (35), thus feedback controlling the generating condition of high-speed particles (P) at the target (30). A high-speed particle generator capable of generating high-speed particles efficiently by monitoring in real time the generating condition thereof is thereby realized.

A high energy photon source. A pair of plasma pinch electrodes are located in a vacuum chamber. The chamber contains a working gas which includes a noble buffer gas and an active gas chosen to provide a desired spectral line. A pulse power source provides electrical pulses at repetition rates of 1000 Hz or greater and at voltages high enough to create electrical discharges between the electrodes to produce very high temperature, high density plasma pinches in the working gas providing radiation at the spectral line of the source or active gas. A fourth generation unit is described which produces 20 mJ, 13.5 nm pulses into 2 pi steradians at repetition rates of 2000 Hz with xenon as the active gas. This unit includes a pulse power system having a resonant charger charging a charging capacitor bank, and a magnetic compression circuit comprising a pulse transformer for generating the high voltage electrical pulses at repetition rates of 2000 Hz or greater. Gas flows in the vacuum chamber are controlled to assure desired concentration of active gas in the discharge region and to minimize active gas concentration in the beam path downstream of the pinch region. In a preferred embodiment, active gas is injected downstream of the pinch region and exhausted axially through the center of the anode. In another preferred embodiment a laser beam generates metal vapor at a location close to but downstream of the pinch region and the vapor is exhausted axially through the anode.

Disclosed are processes and compositions for fabricating irradiation targets from slurry compositions using a slip casting method to form a layer of the slurry composition on a substrate. The layer of slurry is allowed to dry on the substrate to produce a green cast layer that may then be cut, milled or otherwise machined to form intermediate targets having one or more predetermined configurations. These intermediate targets are subsequently subjected to a thermal process by which organic components remaining in the green cast layer are driven off and/or oxidized to form a densified, substantially inorganic, layer that has a density below that of the primary particles.

Target cell of a neutron scattering device, containing liquid metal target material, has its beam window, through which proton beam enters, formed in a structure that is thin and yet can stand both pressure wave stress and thermal stress. In the target cell comprising an outer casing and an inner casing, both having a front face formed with the beam window, and being formed in a double structure of the outer casing and the inner casing with a predetermined distance maintained therebetween so that cooling medium is supplied there and target material is supplied into the inner casing, the beam window of the inner casing is made in a flat plate structure. By this flat plate structure, its rigidity is lowered and cell stress of a secondary stress character caused in the target cell by the pressure wave is reduced. Or, the beam window of the inner casing is formed to have a linear front face in the vertical section and a continuously curved front face in the horizontal section. Thereby, in the beam window of the inner casing, the pressure wave stress and the thermal stress are coped with by the linear front face and the continuously curved front face, respectively.
摘要:
A capsule (10) for encapsulating radioactive material for radiation treatment comprising two or more interfitting sleeves (11, 12), wherein each sleeve comprises a closed bottom portion (13) having a circumferential wall (16) extending therefrom, and an open end located opposite the bottom portion. The sleeves are constructed to fit over one another to thereby establish an effectively sealed capsule container.
