A number of large-scale domestic projects--including the international space station and the Super Photon Ring 8-GeV (SPRing 8) synchrotron being built near Kobe--are Kobe--are Kobe--aremoney.
In the R&D sector, spending measures have refurbished university labs, bought supercomputers, and sped up the completion of major facilities such as the Super Photon Ring 8-giga-electron-volt synchrotron, which came on line a year early last fall.
Soon after the commissioning of high-pressure X-ray microtomography (HPXMT) at GSECARS, high-pressure tomography began at The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (Bromiley et al. 2009) and Super Photon Ring-8 GeV (SPring-8) (Urakawa et al. 2010) for a large-volume press and at APS for the DAC (Liu et al. 2008).
This study evaluates, by experiment and numerical analysis, the effects of a pebble thrown from the front wheel and hitting the down tube of a carbon-epoxy bicycle frame (the Guru Cycles Photon R).
Following the White Monte Carlo (WMC) [ 31] approach, if the photon reaches r at time t s, r, the weight of the i th excitation photon w x i at r has decreased to: where w i,0 is the initial weight of this photon, r j(j = 1,..., p i) are the sub-regions that the photon consequently passes through from r s to r, and l i(r j) is the path length that the photon passes at r j.
Ultraprecise aspheric mirrors that offer nanofocusing and high coherence are indispensable for developing third-generation synchrotron radiation sources such as Super Photon ring-8, the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, and the Advanced Photon Source.
The diffusion pathways of porous sandstone were examined by a three-dimensional (3-D) imaging technique based on X-ray computed tomography (CT) using the SPring-8 (Super Photon ring-8 GeV, Hyogo, Japan) synchrotron radiation facility.
In the present study, micro computed tomography (μCT) imaging by using ultra-bright synchrotron radiation X-ray (SR μCT), which is generated at a facility located in Japan and called SPring-8 (Super Photon ring-8 GeV), is used to observe torsion fatigue crack propagation behavior in round bars.
A three dimensional grain mapping technique for polycrystalline materials, called X-ray diffraction contrast tomography (DCT), was developed at SPring-8 (Super Photon ring – 8 GeV), which is the brightest synchrotron radiation facility in Japan, and the measurement conditions and data acquisition procedure are discussed.
A multiscan X-ray microscope was constructed at the undulator beamline 20XU (Experimental Hutch II) in the synchrotron radiation facility Super Photon ring 8 GeV (SPring-8) in Hyogo, Japan.
