Full textThe Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) are rich structure functions that contain information on quark/anti-quark correlations, and on correlation between longitudinal momentum and the transverse spatial position of partons. These GPDs are accessible via hard exclusive reactions such as Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS), i.e. the leptoproduction of a real photon where the photon is emitted by the target hadron. Nuclear DVCS opens a new avenue to explore the nature of medium modifications at the partonic level. In this work, we present the first exclusive measurement of the DVCS process off helium-4 with a longitudinally polarized electron beam of 6 GeV using the CLAS detector in the experimental Hall-B at Jefferson Lab, USA. The helium-4 is of particular interest since the number of GPDs is reduced to one, because of its spin zero. The aim of this study is to understand the nuclear medium modifications of parton distributions. In our experiment, the CLAS detector was upgraded with a Radial Time Projection Chamber (RTPC) to detect the low-energy recoil nuclei, and an Inner Calorimeter (IC) to detect the forward going photons. The details of the structure, calibration and working principle of the RTPC will be presented. Then, the measurement of the beam-spin asymmetries in the DVCS channel will be presented

Full textThe Compton camera is a device for imaging gamma radiation sources. It consists of two detectors placed behind each other. Each detector must measure the energy deposited by a gamma photon and its interaction position. Using these collected data, we will try to estimate the direction of the emitting source of these gamma rays. For this purpose, the problem of locating the radioactive source in space will be dealt with by positioning oneself within the Bayesian framework. Several solutions to this problem have been addressed in the scientific literature, using various methodologies such as likelihood maximization algorithms or genetic algorithms to locate the source position from measurements provided by the sensor. The Bayesian method approaches this problem from a probabilistic point of view, seeking to construct the posterior density of the parameter to be found. Such a choice is justified by the uncertainty surrounding the observations provided by the detectors, but is made difficult because of the non-linear aspect of the physical phenomena that come into play. It then becomes necessary to resort to Monte-Carlo methods, based on stochastic analysis, and allowing to approximate numerically the posterior density sought

Full textThe localization of radioactivity is a crucial step in the dismantling of nuclear power plants. For this purpose, several detection systems have been developed, such as the pinhole camera, using lead or tungsten collimators, but having as main disadvantage a low detection efficiency. The Compton camera uses the kinematics of the Compton broadcast. It represents a very promising alternative compared to conventional systems because it has several advantages such as: high detection efficiency, reconstruction of radioactive source images with high spatial resolution and wide field of view, and the ability to perform spectroscopy with good energy resolution. So, in this work we developed a new Compton camera based on the use of two monolithic crystals from Cebr3 equipped with Philips DPC3200 photodetector and assembled with materials and processes developed by Damavan for obtain the detection heads of optimal quality and adapted to the constraints of the Compton camera. We have thus set up a procedure for the calibration of the time and energy of the detection heads. We also implemented a new position calculation algorithm based on the use of a new model simulated by Monte Carlo. Finally, we carried out a global evaluation of the camera’s performance, once the basic concepts in its development were tested: time, energy and position

Full textIn the context of medical imaging, a radioactive source can be located from a system composed of coincidence detectors, called the PET system, containing scintillator crystals intended to transform gamma rays emitted by the latter, in detectable light photons, from which we will be able to estimate the coordinates of their impact points in the crystal. This is an essential step in the reconstruction of the positions of radioactive sources, whether in the medical field by the PET system which is based on photoelectric effects, or in the nuclear field by the Compton camera which is based on the Compton scattering. It is therefore very important to have good spatial resolutions. But these systems contain artifacts, caused by the physical properties of the crystals, the noise induced by the electronic system, and especially the presence of adverse Compton events, significantly degrading the quality of reconstructed images. Thus, to improve the latter, we first worked on the development and the calibration of a simulated model of the interaction of gamma ray in the crystal, by Monte Carlo. Subsequently, using this simulated model, we were able to estimate the positions of 3D interactions of gamma rays while developing a sequence of filters to reduce these artifacts. This allowed us in the end to carry out the overall evaluation of the performance of the simulated model

Full textHigh-average-power optical enhancement cavities (OEC), have a wide range of applications including Thomson scattering producing high average flux quasi-monochromatic X/gamma-rays, cavity-enhanced high-order harmonic generation (HHG), gravitational wave interferometers, steady-state microbunching (SSMB) light sources and fusion energy experiments etc. The works of this thesis focus on the theoretical and experimental studies of high-average-power OEC dedicated to Thomson scattering light sources. With the purpose of increasing the average flux of Thomson scattering generated photons, it is demanded for the laser beam inside OEC to have small waist with radius size of few tens of microns, pulse length at the order of picosecond and stable intra-cavity average power of few hundreds of kilowatts. To precisely and effectively describe the highly focused laser field inside OEC to be used in simulations of Thomson scattering, a field expression of nonparaxial corrected highly focused linearly polarized laser field is derived with a generalized Lax series expansion method. To suppress the modal instabilities start to appear apparently on OEC with an intra-cavity average power reaching ~100 kW which affect cavity stability and could lead to lose of lock, the modal instabilities are well described with mode degeneracies induced by mirror surface thermoelastic deformation characterized by Winkler model. We brought up the D-shape mirror method for suppressing modal instabilities and proved its effectiveness with simulation. An hour-time-scale stable intra-cavity average power of 200 kW was realized on the prototype OEC of Thomson scattering light source ThomX with implementation of D-shape mirrors inside. Analysis is carried out for understanding the fast power drop phenomenon appearing on OEC which affects the cavity stability and hinders the intra-cavity power reaching the designed goal. Intra-cavity power drops appeared with magnitude and time scale depending on the power level. Increasing further the incident power led to irreversible damage of the cavity coupling mirror surface. The origin of this phenomenon is investigated with post mortem mirror surface imaging and analysis of the signals transmitted and reflected by the OEC. Scattering loss induced by mirror surface deformation due to a hot-spot contaminant is found to be most likely the dominant physics behind this phenomenon and the cavity behavior could be well reproduced by simulation. This analysis could help to understand the physical process behind this kind of power drop phenomenon appearing on OEC being applied in wide range of applications and to prevent permanent mirror damage. Full design of the prototype OEC of Tsinghua Thomson scattering X-ray source (TTX) is presented and preliminary experiment is carried out on it, realizing the goal of locking a continuous wave injection laser with the cavity with the cavity gain measured to be 133. Design of the high power experimental setup for TTX prototype OEC and the design for TTX OEC to be coupled with the electron storage ring are provided

Full textThis work deals with the study of two kinetic equations. The first equation describes the interaction between photons and electrons, called the Compton effect. The collision kernel presents a singularity at energy zero. Existence results to the Cauchy problem are obtained for initial data small enough and locally in time. The second equation is the Vlasov equation coupled with the Poisson equation. This system represents the interaction between the satellite and the plasma. More precisely, we are interested in the charge phenomenon of a satellite in geostationary orbit. The evolution of the ion and electron distribution functions are ruled by the Vlasov equation which is coupled with the Poisson equation for the potential. The aim is to solve Vlasov-Poisson in a three-dimensional frame in the whole space. One particle method for the Vlaov equation resolution is coupled with a finite/infinite element method for the resolution of the Poisson equation

Full textIn both cases of X ray or electron inelastic scattering from atomic, molecular or solid targets, the comparison between the experimental data and the calculations in the framework of the impulse approximation, displays discrepancies or Compton defects. In order to take this effects into account, a theoretical model has been proposed. It allows to write the Compton profile as a sum of terms alternatively symmetric and antisymmetric in q, the parameter of the Compton profile. The leading term of this series corresponds to the profil in the impulse approximation, the other terms give us corrections to this approximation. In the case of the molecular hydrogen, we have calculated the first corrective term. This term arises from the interactions between the remaining ion and the ejected electron. Theseinteractions induce a shift of the maximum, in the energy scale. The correction depends also on the relative orientation of the molecular axis versus the momentum transferred by the incident particles. The study of directionals results allows to display the importance of the anisotropy of the defect, for weak momentum transfer. On the over hand, we have study the effect of chemical bonding on the Compton defect, comparing the defect of the molecular hydrogen with other isoelectronic targets (helium and two free hydrogen atoms). Finally our results are in exellent agreement with the experiment although we have use very simple wavefunctions to describe the initial target state and approximate the bielectronic interaction with a effective charge

Full textAt present, X-rays imaging is widely applied in solid-state physics, in the life sciences, in medical applications and in other disciplines. An X-ray source based on laser-electron interaction, that is, a Thomson scattering X-ray source, can be used to produce high-quality X-rays at a low cost and small footprint. The construction of compact laser electron sources, consisting of an electron storage ring and an optical enhancement cavity, has recently attracted the interest of many institutions. The optical enhancement cavity is mainly used to amplify the injected power, circulate the pulses at a high repetition frequency (tens of megahertz) and produce a beam with a small waist at the interaction point. When introduced into the electron storage ring, the laser pulses produced in the high-average-power cavity scatter off high-energy electrons at a high repetition frequency. Thus, a high X-ray flux of more than 10^{11} ph/s can be obtained.In order to study the physical process inside a high-power resonator a model has been developed. As a first step, we establish a precise transient model of the laser pulse stacking technique considering the CEP (carrier-envelope phase) effect and time detuning leading to secondary resonances. The results of this model in the time and frequency domains match very well. A cavity with a given finesse and no detuning has a narrower linewidth than a detuned cavity with a higher finesse if both cavities have the same gain; consequently, it is easier to lock a laser to the latter cavity. Next, for the first time, we derived the non-paraxial corrections for general astigmatic beams so as to explain the S-shaped cavity mode observed in a non-planar four-mirror cavity. We solved Lax perturbation series of the wave equation for general elliptic Gaussian beams and S-shaped beam modes appear as the beam propagates away from the cavity symmetry point. This feature agrees qualitatively with observations made on a highly divergent non-planar four-mirror cavity. In addition, we study the thermal effect by using Winkler’s deformation model. The cavity gain is very sensitive to the mirror deformation in open loop. A strong feedback and ultra-low expansion mirrors are indispensable to reach a high power stored in the cavity.Several significant experiments were performed on a prototype cavity of the EQUIPEX project THOMX. Firstly, we proposed a new frequency stabilization method based on the polarization of a folded cavity and tuning of the cavity mirror reflectivity. Sufficient s- and p-wave phase detuning can be obtained by special design of the cavity mirrors’ coatings, which gives rise to an error signal that can be used for locking. Compared to the traditional Pound-Drever-Hall method, this technique is simpler without need for frequency modulation and demodulation. Theoretical calculations and experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method. Meanwhile, high-power experiments on the prototype cavity for ThomX were demonstrated. A cavity finesse of approximately 26,000 is measured using four different methods, and the deposition of dust on the cavity mirrors is found to have an enormous effect on the finesse. We achieved a stable average power as high as 383 kW with a cavity gain of 10,000. In addition, modal instabilities which limit this power were observed. We believe that this effect originates from cavity modal frequency degeneracy induced by thermal effect.Tsinghua University hosts a compact, low-repetition-frequency X-ray source knownas TTX, which is based on a linac system and a terawatt femtosecond laser system. The next step is to upgrade TTX to a high-repetition-frequency X-ray machine called TTX2, consisting of an optical cavity and an electron storage ring. We present the complete design of a prototype optical cavity for TTX2

Full textThe present work provides new contribution in compton defect studies of molecules or solid systems. In the first of the document, the general theory of collisions is summarized as well as the fundamental approximations used to calculate differential scattering cross-sctions. The last part exhibits results concerning molecular or solid targets whose calculations generalize the atomic casses. A molecular traitment has been detailed and applied here to the simpler case, i. E. The hydrogen molecule. The results are compared to existing measurements of compton shifts. Different ground state wave fonctions of the hydrogen molecule have been used. Their results are discussed in terms of relation ships between chemical bond and compton spectroscopy. A comparison between all targets containing two electrons (hydrogen molecule, helium and two isolated hydrogen atoms) allows to conclude in particular additivity contributions of atomic compton defects. These properties have been applied to estimate the compton defect in aluminium. The corresponding calculation consists to add up both core and valence contributions. The compton defect due to valence electrons is based on the simple assumption of a coulomb electron-hole interaction. The corresponding formalism developped here has been shown to establish a quantitative interpretation of the compton defect in simple metals. Between new features predicted by such a model, the discontinuities appearing at Fermi momenta were rediscovered in the analysis of Weiss's previous measurements (1975)

Full textBinary systems in gamma astronomy are stellar objects involving a massive star with a compact object, the lightest in orbit around the other. They emit regularly at high energy and very high energy (E > 100 GeV) for detection by H.E.S.S. telescopes. Despite their low relative number, they are all characterized by a modulation of gamma photon flux which depends on the position of the lightest object. We will focus more on 2 binary systems : LS 5039 and PSR B1259–63, we have a susbstantial data, H.E.S.S. telescopes have regularly observed these objects for more than 10 years. In 2012, a fifth telescope much larger size, began observations and enables to get events at lower energy and then make the connection with other experiments such as Fermi-LAT. A modelling of these two binary systems in anisotropic inverse Compton in Klein–Nishina regime are also presented and the circumstellar disk is taken into account for PSR B1259–63. Data taken by theH.E.S.S. telescopes can be improved. During observations, atmosphere can be degraded and thus affecting the flux of gamma photons collected. It’s therefore important to know the transparency coefficient of the atmosphere during an analysis. Furthermore, the electromagnetic air showers are more distorted because of the Earth’s magnetic field, a study of these phenomenas is necessary to correct these effects

Full textThis thesis is about the design and the realization of the optical system of a new gamma-ray source, ELI-NP-GBS (Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics - Gamma Beam Source), which benefits from the recent developments in laser technology, optics and accelerators. The final characteristics that this source aims to reach is one order of magnitude higher in intensity than the actual best Compton machine, HIGS. A new type of optical system has been designed for ELI-NP-GBS. It is a 32 passes system made of two confocal parabolic mirrors and a set of Mirror-Pair Systems. The parabolic reflectors focalize and collimate successively a high intensity laser beam (400 mJ per pulse). The ``dragon-shape'' geometry ensures that the laser beam and electron bunches cross at a constant angle in a unique point. These performances are guaranteed by a few micrometers precision in position alignment, a few microradians precision in orientation alignment and by a few hundreds femtoseconds synchronization between electron bunches and laser pulses for each pass. This alignment and this synchronization is performed by used of dedicated procedures and algorithms. These algorithms have been developed and tested with numerical simulations which take into account the mechanical and optical aspects of the system such as the mechanical pre-alignment, the mirrors' surface deformations, the laser beam polarization, etc. A first proof of principle of the synchronization method has been successful

Full textThe development of intense XUV sources through free-electron lasers (FELs) and high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in the femtosecond (fs) and sub-fs domains provides a unique tool to investigate non-linear ultrafast laser-matter interaction. In the study of the dynamics of molecular photoionization at ultrashort timescales, the Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation (TDSE) has been crucial for the interpretation of experimental observations. In this thesis, we present results for ab initio calculations of H2 photoionization with UV/X-ray ultrashort laser pulses. We focus on the study of non-linear processes involving two photons and their role in the coupled electron-nuclear dynamics they induce and their study beyond the dipole approximation (DA). Our theoretical approach is based on a spectral method, which requires determining the quantum states of the field-free molecule. These states are calculated in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation employing a configuration interaction scheme together with multichannel scattering theory to determine for the treatment of continuum states, and the Feshbach partitioning formalism to account for autoionization. We resort to a multipolar expansion of the vector potential in the Coulomb gauge, from which we keep the terms corresponding to DA and retardation effects up to O(1/c), to account for the interaction with radiation. Finally, we make use of perturbative and non-perturbative propagation schemes to obtain transition amplitudes from which we can extract cross-sections, photoelectron spectra (PES), and molecular frame angular distributions (MFPADs).In the first part of the results, we demonstrate the coherent control of ionization and dissociation achieved by filtering the higher harmonics in an attosecond pulse train (APT) in an XUV pump-UV probe scheme. By solving the TDSE in DA including electronic and nuclear motion, we are able to extract nuclear and electronic kinetic energy release (KER) spectra to analyze the main ionization pathways as afunction of the delay between pump and probe. We then discuss the effect of harmonic filtering in manipulating one-photon against two-photon ionization yields, dissociative ionization channels, and asymmetries in the MFPADs. In the second part of the results of the thesis, we report the first calculations of Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) and Stimulated Compton Scattering (SCS) in H2 with intense X-ray laser fields. These non-linear phenomena consist in the absorption of a photon and the subsequent stimulated emission of a less energetic one leaving the molecule in an excited state (SRS) or effectively ionizing it (SCS). Theoretically, the inclusion of effects beyond DA becomes mandatory. We begin by investigating the relative role of the dipole (A.P) and non-dipole (A2) interaction terms through a perturbative study of the Raman cross-section. The role of the high energy electronic continuum in the partial cancellation of the dipole contribution is also analyzed. We then present results from SRS and SCS calculations using ultra-short pulses in which we compare the relative contribution of the dipole and non-dipole routes as a function of the photon energy. We assert the validity of perturbation theory by directly comparing SRS calculations with results obtained by solving the TDSE. In SCS, the interference between dipole and non-dipole routesproduces asymmetries in the MFPADs, which we analyze. Special attention is givento the effect of molecular orientation.Finally, we study SCS with two colors, focusing on the effect of the angle between the pulse propagation directions. As seen in atoms, non-dipole effects are enhanced for counter-propagating pulses. We also investigate the effect of color separation in energy

Full textInverse Compton Scattering provides a unique way to produce quasi-monochromatic X-rays via the interaction of relativistic electrons with a laser pulse. This process has the advantage of producing very high fluxes of X-rays with energies above a few tens of keV. In addition the output beam divergence is much larger than in classical synchrotron light sources and the X-ray beam is thus easier to manipulate. We present an X-ray source under construction at Paris-Sud University, ThomX. This source uses a 50 MeV electron beam that collides at 16.7 MHz with a few picoseconds pulsed laser beam whose power is enhanced at the state of the art 600 kW average power to produce X-rays between 30 and 50 keV with a flux of 10^{13} ph/s. This energy range as well as the energy-angular dependence coming from the physical process are suitable for societal applications like radiotherapy or art history.A very high finesse optical cavity (> 24000) is used as a prototype to perform R&D for the ThomX source. 400 kW of average laser power have been successfully stored in this cavity, using an input laser beam of only 40 W. This result, unique in the world, is a pathway towards the completion of the low-cost, compact, high flux X-ray source ThomX. This thesis explains the experimental and analytical studies that have been performed to reach this performance, including a generalization of the process of laser pulse stacking to frequency-detuned laser beams, and the methods developped for experimental spatial coupling enhancement

Full textRecently, new parton distributions called generalized parton distributions (GPD) appeared in the description of the internal structure of the nucleon. They enrich the pieces of information accessible through the usual parton distributions and connect the latter with the form factors. They are the subject of extensive theoretical as well as experimental studies. The Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) is the simplest process that gives access to these new distributions. It is possible to use the high energy muon beam (1̃00GeV) and the experimental setup of COMPASS at CERN to measure the DVCS process. This PhD thesis is devoted to the studies of GPD and DVCS in general and to its measurement at COMPASS in particular. After a study of the theoretical framework of GPD, the experimental situation in the world is presented, and light is shed on the stake of a DVCS experiment at COMPASS. The feasibility of such an experiment is then validated through a simulation. This experiment takes benefit of the existing apparatus and requires the construction of an hermetic recoil detector, mainly to insure systematically the exclusivity of the measurement. The calculation of the counting rates expected for a 6 months data taking period allows to confirm the interest of the measurements for the study of GPD. Tests of a recoil detector prototype, based on a time of flight measurement and operating in the noisy environment of the COMPASS muon beam, are described and analyzed. A pion of weak impulsion produced in the final state and adding to the DVCS process will be very hard to detect. It is of essential importance to insure that this process will not significantly disrupt the measurement of the DVCS process. A theoretical estimate, based on the derivation of a soft pion theorem is presented

Full textThe present study refers ta the applications of coherent and incoherent X-ray scattering in the field of evaluation and characterization of materials and components. Each application was originated from a precise request of an industrial partner. The first part 1s a recall of the basic theory of Compton scattering. Then, after description of the involved equipments, an analysis of the different parameters which characterize the obtained signal and the performance of the method is done. A simulation program is also detailed, which takes into account all major physical phenomena involved, and which permits to realize a optimization of the method for each nex application. Three different industrial applications of Compton scattering are then presented: density measurement, thickness measurement and defect detection (cracks, delamination. . . ). In the part concerning coherent scattering, after the recall of the basic theory, a method using small angle coherent scattering is described, which is used to measure the coating thickness of a SiC layer surrounding a C/SiC structure. This method uses an experimental equipment which is almost identical to that of the Compton scattering. Finally , studies in the field of X-ray fluorescence are described: two applications of coating thickness measurement are developed, which are used for metallic and composite materials

Full textThree-dimensional characterization of flat ancient material objects has remained a challenging activity to accomplish by conventional X-ray tomography methods due to their anisotropic morphology and flattened geometry.To overcome the limitations of such methodologies, an imaging modality based on Compton scattering is studied in this work. Classical X-ray tomography treats Compton scattering data as noise in the image formation process, while in Compton scattering tomography the conditions are set such that Compton data become the principal image contrasting agent. Under these conditions, we are able to avoid relative rotations between the sample and the imaging setup. Mathematically this problem is addressed by means of the conical Radon transform. A model of the direct problem is presented where the output of the system is the spectral image obtained from an input object. The inverse problem is addressed to estimate the 3D distribution of the electronic density of the input object from the spectral image. The feasibility of this methodology is supported by numerical simulations

Full textThe structure of the nucleon, among the first fundamental problems in hadronic physics, is the subject of a renewed interest. The lightest baryonic state has historically been described in two complementary approaches : through elastic scattering, measuring form factors which reflect the spatial shape of charge distributions, and through deep inelastic scattering, providing access to parton distribution functions which encode the momentum content carried by the constituents. The recently developped formalism of Generalized Parton Distributions unifies those approaches and provides access to new informations. The cleanest process sensitive to GPDs is the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) contributing to the ep → epγ reaction. This work deals with a dedicated experiment accomplished with the CLAS detector, completed with two specific equipments : a lead tungstate calorimeter covering photon detection at small angles, and a superconducting solenoid actively shielding the electromagnetic background. The entire project is covered : from the upgrade of the experimental setup, through the update of the software, data taking and analysis, up to a first comparison of the beam spin asymmetry to model predictions
