Description

Quasi-monochromatic gamma rays produced through the laser-Compton scattering process (LCS-γ rays) are quite attractive tools in such various fields, as nuclear physics research, industry diagnostics and therapy in medicine. At AIST LCS-γ rays of 1-40 MeV in energy can be obtained on a compact storage ring named TERAS. One major thrust of our researches is applying LCS-γ rays to the non-destructive inspection of industrial products composed of high-density materials. Here we report our LCS-γ ray based computed tomography (CT) technology being developed for this purpose. (author)
