项目摘要

Description: This project supports cooperation between Dr. Richard H. Pratt of the University of Pittsburgh and Dr. P.P. Kane of the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India. The main research area will be the study of elastic scattering (Rayleigh scattering) and inelastic scattering (bound-electron Compton scattering) of hard x-rays and soft gamma rays by atoms. The focus will be on the atomic physics which appears to largely determine photon-atom scattering. The proposed studies will also provide more accurate data needed by workers in medical diagnostics, applied radiation physics and reactor safety. Objectives include the study of near-threshold effects in elastic scattering, and improved understanding of Compton scattering from tightly-bound inner-shell electrons of high-Z atoms. Scope: The work involves joint experimental and theoretical research between highly-complementary ongoing research programs in photon-atom scattering. The U.S. and Indian scientists have successfully collaborated in research in this area in the past. The research has both basic research interests as well as potential applications that are beneficial to scientists and radiation professionals in the two countries. Training of students is an integral part of the project. The project is being supported under two grants: INT 9019385 to the University of Pittsburgh; INT 9102053 to the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay

描述：该项目支持匹兹堡大学的理查德·普拉特（Richard H. Pratt）博士与P.P.博士之间的合作。印度孟买印度理工学院的凯恩。主要的研究区域将是对硬X射线的弹性散射（瑞利散射）和非原子的软伽玛射线的弹性散射（瑞利散射）和非弹性散射。重点将放在似乎在很大程度上决定光子原子散射的原子物理学。拟议的研究还将提供医疗诊断，应用辐射物理和反应堆安全性的工人所需的更准确的数据。目标包括研究弹性散射中接近阈值的效应，以及对高Z原子紧密结合的内壳电子对康普顿散射的了解。范围：这项工作涉及光子原子散射中高度融合的正在进行的研究计划之间的联合实验和理论研究。过去，美国和印度科学家成功地在该领域的研究中合作。该研究既具有基础研究兴趣，也具有对两国科学家和辐射专业人员有益于的潜在应用。培训学生是该项目不可或缺的一部分。该项目得到了两项赠款的支持：匹兹堡大学的INT 9019385； INT 9102053到孟买印度理工学院
