NSLS-II Seminar

"The Australian Synchrotron Imaging and Medical Beamline: Melting components, scanning rhinos and planning human imaging"

Presented by Daniel Häusermann, Australian Synchrotron, Australia

Friday, October 27, 2017, 10:00 am — NSLS-II, Bldg. 743 Rm 156

The main characteristics of the Imaging and Medical Beamline (IMBL) are

? 150m long, 3 experiment enclosures
? 36kW X-ray power
? Water cooled monochromator, minimal optics
? Samples up to 1m x 1.2m
? Energies from 20 to 350keV
? Computed tomography
? In vivo imaging and CT
? Radiotherapy research
? Extensive support infrastructure
? Clinical programmes with human patients

Total power, beam aspect ratio and beamline configuration flexibility present unique challenges and plenty of opportunity for destroying components. Despite this the IMBL reliability and science programmes are outstanding. Research ranges from palaeontology and materials to micro-beam radiotherapy (MRT) and world unique large animal in vivo imaging, including CT. Furthermore, preparation for clinical research with human patients has led the development of novel approaches to equipment and beamline safety.

This presentation will cover technical features, accidents and their mitigation, science results and the preparation for human imaging and MRT trials, including the new beamline components and modifications these demand.
