In Compton scattering, incident photons undergo multiple scatterings within the material(target) before exiting. Gamma photons continue to soften in energy as the number of scatterings increases in a thick target; in other words, the energy of gamma photons decreases as the scatterings increase in case of a thick target and results in the generation of singly and multiply scattered events. In this work, the energy distribution of backscattered gamma photons with backscattering intensity and energy probabilities were calculated by using the Monte Carlo method for metallic, biological, and shielding materials with various thicknesses of slab geometry. The materials under study were targeted with gamma photons of 0.279, 0.662, 1.250, and 2.100 Me V energies. In addition, the energy distributions of multiply scattered gamma photons were studied for materials with infinite geometry.The results are presented and discussed in detail by comparing with other Monte Carlo calculations.展开更多

Based on these parameters, the reaction cross-sections, elastic scattering angular distributions, energy spectra and double differential cross sections of proton-induced reactions on lS4w are calculated and analyzed by using theoretical models which integrate the optical model, distorted Born wave approximation theory, intra- nuclear cascade model, exciton model, Hauser-Feshbach theory and evaporation model. The calculated results are compared with existing experimental data and good agreement is achieved.展开更多

It is a very powerful method to characterize the local structure of materials. With the help of the third generation synchrotron facility and spallation neutron source worldwide, the PDF method has developed quickly both experimentally and theoretically in recent years. Recently this method was successfully implemented at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility（SSRF）. The data quality is very high and this ensures the applicability of the method to study the subtle structural changes in complex materials. In this article, we introduce in detail this new method and show some experimental data we collected.展开更多
