Gamma Beam Industrial Applications

 Convener: Prof. Dr. Hideaki Ohgaki

The Institute of Advanced Energy, Kyoto University, Japan

Contributors: C. A. Ur, G. Suliman, V. Iancu, M. Iovea, I. DaitoA. Industrial Applications based on NRFTransmission and scattering NRF measurements with applications in:Nuclear waste management, material inspection, food contamination (Cd, Hg, As), medical applications (cancer screening and Fe level count) Goals: enough statistics in decent time

the perfect challenge for ELI-NP unprecedented gamma beam intensity and low bandwidth (

at least two orders of magnitude higher than anything tried

before

) performance of ELIADE (one order of magnitude higher than the detector systems used in the past)

1. “First investigations of the QED-plasma regime” P McKenna (U Strathclyde) et al.Goal: For the first time: (1) test for the onset of the radiation reaction force, Requires: 2x10PW laser pump-probe. Electrons accelerated in Solid Targets and probed by High Field of second 10PW beam.(Fig.1b)

2. “Exploring Strong-Field QED with Ultra-Intense Lasers”

C Murphy (U York) et al.Goal: For the first time: 1. Observe transition to very nonlinear Compton scattering regime and measure cross-section for strongly nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair production. Requires: 2x10PW laser pump-probe. Electrons accelerated at multi-GeV energy in Gas Target and probed by High Field of second 10PW beam. (Fig. 1a)High Field Physics and QED Experiments.
