Desde sua introdução, várias melhorias vem sendo propostas com o objetivo de investigar aplicações para o diagnóstico clínico e redução da dose absorvida associada à aquisição tomográfica. Neste contexto, são apresentadas duas novas aplicações de diagnóstico utilizando as abordagens espectroscópica e tomográfica da NSECT. Uma nova metodologia também foi proposta para otimizar a amostragem do sinograma que está diretamente relacionado com a qualidade de reconstrução através do protocolo de irradiação. Os estudos realizados foram desenvolvidos com base em simulações com o código MCNP5. O diagnóstico de Carcinoma de Célula Renal (CCR) e a detecção de microcalcificações mamárias foram avaliadas nos estudos conduzidos utilizando um objeto simulador humano. Os resultados obtidos demonstram a habilidade da técnica NSECT em detectar a alteração da composição dos tecidos modelados em função do desenvolvimento das patologias avaliadas. O método proposto para a otimização dos sinogramas foi capaz de simular analiticamente a composição do meio irradiado permitindo que a qualidade de reconstrução e a dose efetiva fossem avaliados em função da taxa de amostragem. Entretanto, futuras pesquisas devem ser conduzidas para quantificar o limiar de detecção de acordo com os elementos selecionados. / Tese (Doutorado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/T / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP / FAPESP:10/04206-4

L’étude des résonances géantes monopolaires isoscalaires (ISGMR) et des résonances géantes quadrupolaires isoscalaires (ISGQR) dans les noyaux stables, a permis d’obtenir ces dernières décennies des informations fondamentales sur la structure et la matière nucléaire. En particulier, le centroïde de la ISGMR peut être relié au module d’incompressibilité de la matière nucléaire infinie. Des données dans les noyaux exotiques nous aideraient à contraindre ce module d’incompressibilité. Dans les noyaux instables, une seule mesure a, à l’heure actuelle, été réalisée (56Ni). Afin d’étudier l’évolution de la ISGMR et de la ISGQR le long d’une chaîne isotopique, des mesures dans un noyau exotique riche en neutrons sont donc nécessaires.L’expérience étudiée dans cette thèse a été réalisée au Grand Accélérateur National d’Ions Lourds (GANIL) à Caen en septembre 2010. Un faisceau de 68Ni à 50 AMeV et d’une intensité de 10^4 pps a été produit et purifié sur la ligne LISE. Les réactions de diffusion inélastique de particules alpha (alpha, alpha’) et de deutons (d,d’) sur 68Ni en cinématique inverse ont été étudiées avec la cible active Maya. Il s’agit de la première mesure de la ISGMR et de la ISGQR dans un noyau instable riche en neutrons.Pour chaque expérience, le spectre en énergie d’excitation a été reconstruit et les distributions angulaires étudiées par deux méthodes indépendantes. Les sections efficaces expérimentales ont été comparées à celles issues de calculs DWBA utilisant des densités de transition RPA. L’analyse en (alpha, alpha’) a permis l’observation d’une ISGMR fragmentée avec un épaulement à 21.1+/-0.6 MeV, d’une ISGQR concentrée à 16.9+/-0.8 MeV qui épuise 61+/-17% de la règle de somme pondérée en énergie (EWSR). De plus, un mode « soft GMR », prédit mais jamais observé, a été identifié à 13.4+/-0.5 MeV. Tous ces résultats sont confirmés par l’analyse en (d,d’), à l’exception de l’observation de la ISGQR pour laquelle les conditions de fonctionnement n’étaient pas favorables. / The study of the Isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance (ISGMR) and the Isoscalar Giant Quadrupole Resonance (ISGQR) in stable nuclei provided relevant information on both nuclear matter and nuclear structure in past decades. For instance the centroid of the ISGMR can be linked to the incompressibility modulus of the infinite nuclear matter. Values for exotic nuclei would help in constraining it. In unstable nuclei, only one measurement has been performed so far (56Ni) and in order to study the evolution of the ISGMR and the ISGQR along an isotopic chain, measurements in neutron-rich Ni are called for.To reach this goal, a dedicated experiment was performed at GANIL in Septembre 2010. A 68Ni beam at 50 AMeV and with an intensity of 10^4 pps has been produced on LISE beamline. The inelastic scattering of alpha (alpha, alpha’) and deuteron particles (d,d’) on 68Ni in inverse kinematics has been studied with the active target Maya. It is the first attempt to measure the ISGMR and ISGQR in an unstable neutron-rich nucleus. For each experiment, the excitation energy spectrum has been reconstructed and the angular distributions have been studied with two independant methods. Experimental differential cross sections have been compared to DWBA calculations using RPA transition density in order to deduce the properties of the states observed. Concerning the analysis in (alpha, alpha’), the ISGMR is fragmented with a shoulder at 21.1+/-0.6 MeV, the ISGQR is concentred at 16.9+/-0.8 MeV and exhausted 61+/-17% of the Energy Weighted Sum Rule (EWSR). Moreover, a « soft GMR », predicted but never observed, is identified at 13.4+/-0.5 MeV. All these results are confirmed with the experiment in (d,d’), with the exception of the ISGQR due to unadapted experimental conditions.

This thesis deals with an electron scattering in STEM microscopy on objects with dif-ferent shapes, such as cuboid, sphere and hollow capsule. Monte Carlo simulations are used for description of multiple electron scattering. Except the theoretical analysis of the electron scattering and simulation methods, the thesis contains design and realiza-tion of an algorithm simulating electron scattering in given objects. In addition, there is a design for robustness evaluation of the simulation, based on comparison between results and known signals for a given object. Reliability of the algorithm was verified by experimental measurements of the electron scattering on a carbon layer.

Der inelastische Streuquerschnitt von Neutronen mit 7Li weist keine scharfen Resonanzen und eine relativ niedrige Schwelle von 546 keV auf. Bis zur Aufbruchschwelle von 5291 keV findet die inelastische Streuung ausschließlich durch Emission eines 𝛾 -Quants mit 𝐸𝛾 = 477,6 keV statt. Er ist daher als Referenzquerschnitt geeignet. Lithium ist als 3H-Produzent von technischer Bedeutung für die Entwicklung zukünftiger Fusionsreaktoren oder Salzschmelzenreaktoren. Neuere Messungen des inelastischen Streuquerschnitts weichen signifikant von den bisher evaluierten Daten ab. Daher wurden an der Neutronenflugzeitanlage nELBE am HZDR in einem 170 Stunden dauernden Experiment mittels Flugzeit-Methode an einer 4 mm dicken LiF-Scheibe der Streuquerschnitt von 7Li(n,n’𝛾)7Li bestimmt. Die Flugstrecke der Neutronen beträgt 8,3 m. Es wurden 2 Zoll und 3 Zoll-LaBr3-Szintillatoren sowie HPGe- Miniball-Detektoren zum Nachweis der Gammastrahlung in zwei verschiedenen Datenacquisitionen verwendet. Es wird die Abregung von 7Li★ (477,6 keV) gemessen. Das Experiment profitiert von einem hohen Neutronenfluss (ca. 80 n/s/keV @ 1 MeV) sowie einer genauen Spaltkammer der PTB (H19) zur Neutronenflussbestimmung. Die Energie der Neutronen wird mittels Flugzeit-Methode bestimmt. Eine Geant4-Simulation dient der Korrektur der Transmission der Neutronen zum Target, sowie der Mehrfachstreuung und Selbstabsorption. Die bestimmten Wechselwirkungsquerschnitte der LaBr3- und HPGe-Detektoren sind untereinander konsistent, können die Ergebnisse aus [NBI+16] aber nicht bestätigen, die Abweichungen betragen bis zu 20 %. Die Halbwertszeit der gleichzeitig durch Bremsstrahlung in Luft erzeugten Positroniums wurde auf 116(7) ns bestimmt.:1. Einleitung und Motivation 1 2. Theoretische Vorbetrachtungen 3 2.1.

It is therefore suited as a reference cross section. Lithium has technical usage as a 3H-producer in future fusion reactors as well as in molten salt reactors. But there are recent measurements [NBI+16] disagreeing with already evaluated data. To resolve this dissonance, an 170 h Experiment was carried out at the nELBE facility of the HZDR. A 4 mm thick LiF-disk was used as a target, the neutron flux was determined with a 235U parallel plate fission chamber. The flight path for the 7Li(n,n’𝛾)7Li reaction was 8,3 m. As detectors four two-inch LaBr3-detectors as well as three three-inch LaBr3-detectors and two miniball-type HPGe detectors with three 60 % crystals each were used. The measurement of the cross section is solely a measurement of the de-excitation of the first exited 7Li-State at 477,6 keV. The second exited state at 4,63 MeV already decays via particle emission and thus does not contribute any 𝛾-radiation. The experiment benefits from the high neutron flux at nELBE (80 n/s/keV @ 1 MeV) as well as from the precise fission chamber of the PTB (H19) for the neutron flux calibration. A Geant4- Simulation is used to determine correction factors as the transmission from the H19 to the target as well as the multiple scattering correction and the self absorption of the 477,6 keV 𝛾-Rays. The deduced cross section from both detector types are consistent, but they can’t reproduce the data from Nyman et al. PRC93 (2016). The deviations are up to 20 %. The half life of the by means of bremsstrahlung in air produced positroniums in the experiment is 116(7) ns.:1. Einleitung und Motivation 1 2. Theoretische Vorbetrachtungen 3 2.1.

Die Off-Axis-Elektronenholographie ist eine interferometrische Methode zur experimentellen Bestimmung von relativen Phasenschiebungen einer Elektronenwelle. Der Zugang zu diesen Phasenschiebungen ermöglicht z.B. die Bestimmung von intrinsischen elektrischen und magnetischen Feldern eines Objektes im Nanometerbereich. Für eine quantitative Interpretation der Resultate ist die Kenntnis des Rauschens der holographisch rekonstruierten Größen von hoher Bedeutung. In dieser Arbeit wird ein allgemeiner Formalismus abgeleitet, der den Rauschtransfer vom detektierten Hologramm in die rekonstruierten Amplituden- und Phasenbilder beschreibt. Anhand zielgerichteter Experimente wird dieser Formalismus unter Berücksichtigung von gemessenen Rauscheigenschaften des Detektors verifiziert. Im Zuge dessen wird eine experimentelle Methode entwickelt, die es erlaubt, durch Serienaufnahmen und Mittelungsprozeduren das Signal-zu-Rauschverhältnis in den holographischen Resultaten bei gleichbleibender Ortsauflösung erheblich zu verbessern. Daran knüpft sich eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen an, welche in dieser Arbeit in Auszügen aufgeführt werden. Die Grundlage für all diese Experimente besteht in den Welleneigenschaften des Elektrons, welche in der Interferenzfähigkeit (Kohärenz) des Elektrons zum Ausdruck kommen. Elektronen, welche unelastisch an einem Objekt streuen, verlieren diese Eigenschaft und es stellt sich die Frage, ob aus diesem Verlust zusätzliche Informationen über den Streuprozess bzw. über das Objekt selbst gewonnen werden können. Eine Größe, die neben der Intensität auch die Kohärenz der Elektronen beschreibt, ist die reduzierte Dichtematrix. Das motiviert, die Methode der Off-Axis-Elektronenholographie in der Sprache der Dichtematrizen zu formulieren und eine allgemeine Übertragungstheorie für ein holographiefähiges Transmissionselektronenmikroskop abzuleiten. Diese Theorie umfasst alle bisher bekannten Phänomene im Rahmen der Elektronenholographie und bietet darüber hinaus neue instrumentelle Ansätze zur Optimierung des Signal-zu-Rausch-Verhältnisses und zur Überwindung auflösungsbegrenzender Aberrationen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird weiterhin die Kohärenz von Elektronen mittels energiegefilterter Off-Axis-Elektronenholographie untersucht, welche unelastisch an Siliziumoberflächen streuen und charakteristische Oberflächenplasmonen anregen. Für die Interpretation der Resultate werden zwei Modelle für die Dekohärenz des Elektrons infolge der Wechselwirkung mit einer Objektoberfläche entwickelt und unter Berücksichtigung der Aberrationen des Energiefilters mit dem Experiment verglichen. / Off-axis electron holography provides access to the relative phase shift of an electron wave and allows the experimental determination of intrinsic electric and magnetic fields within an object at nanometre scale. A quantitative interpretation of the results requires the knowledge about the noise in the reconstructed data. In this work, a general formalism is derived describing the transfer of noise from an experimental hologram into reconstructed amplitude and phase images. Concerted experiments verify this formalism under consideration of measured noise properties of the detector. In this frame, a method based on series acquisition and averaging is developed to improve significantly the signal-to-noise ratio of the reconstructed amplitude and phase images at constant spatial resolution. The usefulnes of this method is demonstrated by selected experimental examples from the materials sciences. The capability to show interference, i.e. to be coherent, is a consequence of the electron's wave nature and provides the fundament for all applications of electron holography. By inelastic interaction with the object, the electron loses coherence and the question comes up, whether this loss mechanism contains additional information about the scattering process or even about the object itself. The reduced density matrix is introduced as a suitable quantity describing both intensity and coherence of scattered electrons. That motivates to formulate off-axis electron holography in the language of density matrices and to derive a general transfer theory for this quantity in a holography-dedicated transmission electron microscope. This theory reproduces all known phenomena related to off-axis electron holography and provides new instrumental approaches to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and to overcome resolution limiting aberrations. In this context, the coherence of electrons, which are inelastically scattered by silicon surfaces and have excited characteristic surface plasmons, is investigated by energy-filtered electron holography. For the interpretation of the experimental results, two models are developed for the decoherence of the electron by interaction with an object surface and are compared to the experiment under consideration of the aberrations of the energy-filter.

Low-temperature weak-localization (WL) and antilocalization (AL) magnetotransport measurements are sensitive to electron interference, and thus can be used as a probe of quantum states. The spin-dependent interactions between controllable surface magnetism and itinerant electrons in a non-magnetic host provide insight for spin-based technologies, magnetic data storage and quantum information processing. This dissertation studies two different host systems, an In$_{0.53}$Ga$_{0.47}$As quantum well at a distance from the surface of a heterostructure, and an accumulation layer on an InAs surface. Both the systems are two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs), and possess prominent Rashba spin-orbit interaction caused by structural inversion asymmetry, which meets the prerequisites for AL. The surface local moments influence the surrounding electrons in two ways, increasing their spin-orbit scattering, and inducing magnetic spin-flip scattering, which carries information about magnetic interactions. The two effects modify the AL signals in opposing directions: the spin-flip scattering of electrons shrinks the signal, and requires a close proximity to the species, whereas the increase of spin-orbit scattering broadens and increases the signal. Accordingly, we only observe an increase in spin-orbit scattering in the study of the interactions between ferromagnetic Co$_{0.6}$Fe$_{0.4}$ nanopillars and the relatively distant InGaAs quantum well. With these CoFe nanopillars, a decrease in spin decoherence time is observed, attributed to the spatially varying magnetic field from the local moments. A good agreement between the data and a theoretical calculation suggests that the CoFe nanopillars also generate an appreciable average magnetic field normal to the surface, of value $\sim$ 35 G. We also performed a series of comparative AL measurements to experimentally investigate the interactions and spin-exchange between InAs surface accumulation electrons and local magnetic moments of rare earth ions Sm$^{3+}$, Gd$^{3+}$, Ho$^{3+}$, of transition metal ions Ni$^{2+}$, Co$^{2+}$, and Fe$^{3+}$, and of Ni$^{2+}$-, Co$^{2+}$-, and Fe$^{3+}$-phthalocyanines deposited on the surface. The deposited species generate magnetic scattering with magnitude dependent on their electron configurations and effective moments. Particularly for Fe$^{3+}$, the significant spin-flip scattering due to the outermost 3d shell and the fairly high magnetic moments modifies the AL signal into a WL signal. Experiments indicate a temperature-independent magnetic spin-flip scattering for most of the species except for Ho$^{3+}$ and Co$^{2+}$. Ho$^{3+}$ yields electron spin-flip rates proportional to the square root of temperature, resulting from transitions between closely spaced energy levels of spin-orbit multiplets. In the case of Co$^{2+}$, either a spin crossover or a spin-glass system forms, and hence spin-flip rates transit between two saturation regions as temperature varies. Concerning the spin-orbit scattering rate, we observe an increase for all the species, and the increase is correlated with the effective electric fields produced by the species. In both 2DESs, the inelastic time is inversely proportional to temperature, consistent with phase decoherence via the Nyquist mechanism. Our method provides a controlled way to probe the quantum spin interactions of 2DESs, either in a quantum well, or on the surface of InAs. / Ph. D.

O estudo de características de isospin na excitação do estado 2 POT.+IND.1 foi implementado nos núcleos ANTPOT.70, 72, 74 Ge com a realização de medidas de espalhamento inelástico na região de interferência nuclear coulombiana (INC) com ANTPOT.6 Li de 28 MeV. A análise da INC, utilizando projéteis leves de interação isoescalar, na excitação de estados coletivos é uma ferramenta poderosa para evidenciar mudanças de estrutura em cadeias de núcleos, e fornecer resultados robustos para testes de modelos. A principal vantagem do método é a extração simultânea dos parâmetros de deformação de carga e massa das transições, minimizando as incertezas na razão entre as probabilidades reduzidas de transição elétrica e de massa, B(El) e B(ISl), indicadores importantes da coletividade dos estados nucleares. A análise foi realizada na aproximação de Born com ondas distorcidas e potencial óptico deformado (DWBA-DOMP), usando um conjunto de parâmetros de potencial óptico global. Os ajustes das previsões à distribuições angulares, empregando o método interativo de Gauss, exibiram excelente qualidade. Os parâmetros correlacionados extraídos na minimização do chi-quadrado, delta IND.n(comprimento de deformação nuclear) e C=delta IND.c/delta IND.n (razão entre os comprimentos de deformação de carga e nuclear), e suas incertezas, foram submetidos a testes estatísticos que os validaram. Dentre as grandezas determinadas a partir desses parâmetros, os valores de B(IS2), inéditos nos isótopos de Ge, mostraram uma mudança de estrutura não evidenciada pelos valores de B(E2). A probabilidade reduzida de transição isoescalar cresceu com o incremento do número de nêutrons, com um aumento abrupto no ANTPOT.74 Ge. Já a probabilidade reduzida de transição elétrica aumentou de maneira mais suave. Essa diferença de comportamento foi um reflexo da variação do parâmetro extraído C, que no ANTPOT.74 Ge indicou uma ) contribuição maior dos nêutrons frente aos prótons na excitação do primeiro estado quadrupolar. Os isótopos ANTPOT.70, 72 Ge, por outro lado, revelaram contribuições equivalentes e homogêneas para essas transições. Com a determinação precisa das contribuições de massa e de carga para a excitação do primeiro estado quadrupolar, novos subsídios estão disponíveis para futuros cálculos. / The analysis of the isospin character of the 2 POT.+ IND.1 excitation in the ANTPOT.70,72,74 Ge nuclei, with 28 MeV ANTPOT.6 Li, was applied to the inelastic scattering in the coulomb nuclear interference (CNI) region. The CNI measurements in the exitation of collective states with light isoscalar projectiles are powerful tools to evidence structure changes in nuclei chains, allowing tests of nuclear models. In this method the simultaneous extraction of the charge and mass deformation parameters, minimizes the uncertainties in the ratio of charge B(El) to mass B(ISl) trasition reduced probabilities, wich are important indicators of the nuclear collectivity. The present analysis was developed in the framework of the distorted wave Born approximation within a deformed optical potential approach (DWBA-DOMP), using a set of global optical model parameters. Excellent quality fits of the predictions to the experimental angular distributions, employing the Gauss iterative method, were obtained. The correlated parameters delta IND.N (nuclear deformation length) and C = delta IND.C/delta IND.N (ratio of charge to nuclear deformation lenghts), and their uncertainties extracted in the least squares method, were validated by statistical tests. The B(IS2) values for germanium isotopes, not previously reported, were determined in the analysis and revealed a structure change not evidenced by the B(E2) values. The isoscalar transition reduced probability raises when the neutron number increases, showing in the ANTPOT.74 Ge an abrupt enhancement. Nevertheless, the eletric transition reduced probability grows smoothly. This behavior was detected following the experimental extracted C parameters, indicating in the heavier isotope a predominance of neutrons in the first quadrupolar excitation. The ANTPOT.70,72 Ge isotopes, on the other hand, displayed equivalent and homogeneous contributions of protoons and neutrons. New information on mass and charge contributions for the 0 POT.+ IND.1 -> 2 POT.+ IND.1 transition, in the germanium isotopes, is now available for future theoretical interpretation.
