Elementary Particles
Elementary Particle Interactions
The interactions of particles responsible for their scattering and transformations (decays and reactions). Because of interactions, an isolated particle may decay into other particles. Two particles passing near each other may transform, perhaps into the same particles but with changed momenta (elastic scattering) or into other particles (inelastic scattering). Interactions fall into three groups: strong, electromagnetic, and weak. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science & Technology, 7th ed)
Three-dimensional reconstruction of lung perfusion image with positron detection. (1/37)
Transverse section images of the distribution of pulmonary perfusion in a canine have been obtained using microspheres labeled with the positron-emitting isotope 68Ga and a three-dimensional reconstruction technique. The reconstruction method is more accurate than conventional tomographic procedures and is facilitated by the use of positron detection. The transverse sections presented demonstrate the capacity of the technique to delineate reduction in regional perfusion resulting from occlusion of the artery to the left lower lobe. (+info)Responses of retinal rods to single photons. (2/37)
1. A suction electrode was used to record the membrane current of single rod outer segments in pieces of toad retina. During dim illumination the membrane current showed pronounced fluctuations. 2. Amplitude histograms of responses to dim flashes of fixed intensity exhibited two discrete peaks, one at 0 pA and one near 1 pA, suggesting that the response was quantized. By setting a criterion amplitude level, flash responses could be classed as 'failures' (no response) or as 'successes' (at least one quantal event). 3. The variation of fraction of successes with flash intensity was consistent with the hypothesis that each quantal electrical event resulted from a single photoisomerization. 4. The quantal event had a mean amplitude of about 1 pA (5% of the standing dark current) and a standard deviation of 0.2 pA. Dispersion in the event amplitude prevented identification of histogram peaks corresponding to two or more photoisomerizations. 5. Individual quantal responses exhibited a smooth shape very similar to that of the average quantal response. This suggests that a single photoisomerization releases many particles of transmitter and that radial diffusion of internal transmitter is not a major source of delay in the light response. 6. The 'quantum efficiency' with which an absorbed photon generated an electrical event was measured as 0.5 +/- 0.1 (S.E. of mean, n = 4). This is slightly lower than the quantum efficiency of photoisomerization obtained previously for rhodopsin in solution. 7. At wavelengths between 420 and 700 nm the quantal event was invariant in size, although the cell's sensitivity varied over a range of 10(5). 8. The power spectrum of the fluctuations in dim steady light was predicted by assuming that a random series of quantal events occurred independently. 9. In brighter light the fluctuations were faster, and the response to an incremental flash was reduced in size and duration. The power spectrum could be predicted by assuming random superposition of events with the shape of the incremental flash response. (+info)Effect of positron range on spatial resolution. (3/37)
The effect of beta+ range on spatial resolution of imaging systems employing the detection of 511-keV annihilation radiation was determined by measuring the variation in the line-spread functions (LSFs) of positron-emitting radionuclides of 64Cu, 11C, and 15O as compared with the 514-keV gamma-ray emitter 85Sr. These radionuclides have maximum beta+ energies of 0.656, 0.960, and 1.72 MeV, respectively. The LSFs were measured in a tissue-equivalent phantom with high-resolution (approximately 2.4 mm FWHM) and low-resolution (approximately 8.8 mm FWHM) straightbore collimators coupled to a NaI(Tl) detector. Theoretical LSFs for the beta+ ranges were also calculated and convolved with the 85Sr LSF to yield the predicted LSFs for 11C and 15O. The high-resolution study showed a 0% and 2.3% increase in the full-width half-maximum (FWHM) and full-width tenth-maximum (FWO.1M) for the low-energy beta+ of 64Cu and a 37% (FWHM) and 52% (FWO.1M) increase for the high energy beta+ of 15O as compared with 85Sr. However, when the system resolution was decreased to 8.8 mm FWHM, the 64Cu showed no change at FWHM or FWO.1M and the 15O showed a 2.3% (FWHM) and 7.8% (FWO.1M) relative to 85Sr. The predicted LSFs were in good agreement with the experimental. These data indicate that the effect of beta+ range on spatial resolution is minimal unless the beta+ energy is larger than or equal to 1.5 MeV and the system resolution is on the order of a few millimeters. (+info)Positron camera with extended counting rate capability. (4/37)
Positron emitters may be imaged using two opposing scintillation cameras without collimators. The counting rate limitation of this approach can be largely largely overcome by using graded absorbers to reduce scattered radiation from the patient and using not only photopeak events but Compton events in the scintillator as well. This increases the useful counting rate by more than a factor of 5. By combing this technique with the use of fast electronics, useful images have been obtained in the presence of scattering material at counting rates above 7,500 cps. (+info)Light path and photon capture in turtle photoreceptors. (5/37)
1. The directional selectivity of individual cones was examined by intracellular recording in the eye of the turtle. Sensitivites were determined from linear responses to dim flashes of monochromatic light incident on a cell over a range of angles to its long axis. 2. With light near the optimum wave-length, some red- and green-sensitive cones showed a high sensitivity for light entering axially and lower sensitivities for light entering obliquely. In contrast, other cells had lower peak sensitivities and less pronounced directional selectivities. The highest axial sensitivities observed in red receptors were about 320 muV photon(-1) mu2; in these cells, the sensitivity declined to half for rays 6-9 degrees off the axis as measured in the retina. Green receptors had lower axial sensitivities and broader angular profiles. 3. On the assumption that rays at all angles contribute independently to the over-all sensitivity, the sensitivity of a cell to large cones of rays was successfully predicted from the angular selectivity determined with a narrow pencil of rays. The shape of small responses to dim stimuli delivered on and off the axis of the cell was invariant, implying that a cone signals the number of photons absorbed but not their angle of incidence. 4. Short wave-lengths have previously been shown to be filtered out by the oil droplets present in turtle cones. At short wave-lengths, the angular profiles showed a depression in axial sensitivity consistent with this filtering action. 5. Diameters of inner segments, oil droplets, and outer segments were measured in red-, green-, and blue-sensitive cones, since these dimensions are expected to influence the cones' angular acceptances and ability to collect light. The diameters of the structure were in approximately the same proportions for each type of receptor, but the absolute values of the diameters were found to be scaled in relation to the wave-length of maximum sensitivity. 6. Optical determinations of the efficiency with which axial rays are concentrated by red receptors gave a mean value of 55%. 7. Receptors in histological sections of the whole eye were found to be oriented with their long axes directed approximately toward the pupil. 8. The observed directional selectivities and collecting efficiencies agree well with the behaviour of a model retinal cone developed by Winston & Enoch (1971) on a geometrical optical treatment. 9. Effective collecting areas are derived for red-, green- and blue-sensitive cones; these permit conversion of observed flash sensitivities into the mean peak hyperpolarization produced by isomerization of a visual pigment molecule. The figure obtained is about 25 muV for red-sensitive cones and 21muV for green-sensitive cones. (+info)Analytical study of a high-resolution positron ring detector system for transaxial reconstruction tomography. (6/37)
This paper presents an analytical study of a high-resolution positron ring detector system for transaxial reconstruction tomography. Our goal is a combination of good spatial resolution, high sensitivity, rejection of scattered photons, variable section thickness, and the minimization of the number of photomultipliers and coincidence circuits. A circular ring of 288 NaI(Tl) crystals 0.8 cm wide should provide a resolution of 4--7 mm FWHM over a circular region 30 cm in diameter. Coded light pipes permit readout using only 72 photomultipliers and 12 coincidence circuits. With properly designed shielding and an energy resolution of 30% FWHM, a positron activity of 200 muCi per axial centimeter in a 20-cm-diam cylinder of tissue should provide approximately 7,000 events/sex from a 2-cm-thick transaxial section (including a 5% accidental coincident background and a 26% scattered coincident background). This rate is adequate for both static and dynamic imaging. The device can operate at two to three times higher event rates with increased backgrounds. (+info)Positron ranges obtained from biomedically important positron-emitting radionuclides. (7/37)
Positron ranges were obtained experimentally for several nuclides used in scintigraphic imaging. The nuclides examined were 13C, 13N, 15O, 18F, 68Ga, and 82Rb. The results are discussed with respect to the ultimate spatial resolution obrained in a scintigraphic image. (+info)Temperature profile for glacial ice at the South Pole: implications for life in a nearby subglacial lake. (8/37)
Airborne radar has detected approximately 100 lakes under the Antarctic ice cap, the largest of which is Lake Vostok. International planning is underway to search in Lake Vostok for microbial life that may have evolved in isolation from surface life for millions of years. It is thought, however, that the lakes may be hydraulically interconnected. If so, unsterile drilling would contaminate not just one but many of them. Here we report measurements of temperature vs. depth down to 2,345 m in ice at the South Pole, within 10 km from a subglacial lake seen by airborne radar profiling. We infer a temperature at the 2,810-m deep base of the South Pole ice and at the lake of -9 degrees C, which is 7 degrees C below the pressure-induced melting temperature of freshwater ice. To produce the strong radar signal, the frozen lake must consist of a mix of sediment and ice in a flat bed, formed before permanent Antarctic glaciation. It may, like Siberian and Antarctic permafrost, be rich in microbial life. Because of its hydraulic isolation, proximity to South Pole Station infrastructure, and analog to a Martian polar cap, it is an ideal place to test a sterile drill before risking contamination of Lake Vostok. From the semiempirical expression for strain rate vs. shear stress, we estimate shear vs. depth and show that the IceCube neutrino observatory will be able to map the three-dimensional ice-flow field within a larger volume (0.5 km(3)) and at lower temperatures (-20 degrees C to -35 degrees C) than has heretofore been possible. (+info)'Elementary particles' in medicine are the fundamental units of matter that constitute atoms, including leptons such as electrons and neutrinos, and quarks that form protons and neutrons, collectively described by the Standard Model of particle physics.
Elementary particles are the fundamental building blocks that make up all matter and energy in the universe. They are called "elementary" because they cannot be broken down into smaller, simpler components. According to our current understanding of particle physics, there are two main types of elementary particles: fermions and bosons.
Fermions include quarks and leptons, which make up matter. There are six types of each, known as flavors: up and down quarks, charm and strange quarks, top and bottom quarks, and electron, muon, and tau leptons (also called "electron-type," "muon-type," and "tau-type" leptons). Each fermion also has an associated antiparticle.
Bosons are the force carriers that mediate the fundamental forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. These include the photon (which carries the electromagnetic force), the gluon (which carries the strong nuclear force), and the W and Z bosons (which carry the weak nuclear force). The Higgs boson is also a type of boson, associated with the Higgs field that gives other particles their mass.
It's important to note that our understanding of elementary particles and their properties is still evolving, as new experiments and theories continue to shape our knowledge of the universe's smallest constituents.
Elementary particle interactions refer to the fundamental physical processes involving the exchange of force-carrying particles, such as photons for electromagnetic forces or gluons for strong nuclear forces, which mediate the reactions between elementary particles like quarks and leptons, leading to their binding, scattering, or decay.
Elementary particle interactions refer to the fundamental forces that govern how elementary particles, which are the basic building blocks of matter, interact with each other. There are four fundamental forces in nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. Each of these forces is associated with a specific type of particle interaction.
1. Gravity: This force is associated with the interaction between massive objects, such as planets and stars. However, at the level of elementary particles, gravity is too weak to be observed directly, and its effects are not well understood.
2. Electromagnetism: This force is responsible for the interactions between charged particles, such as electrons and protons. It is mediated by the exchange of photons, which are massless particles that carry the electromagnetic force.
3. Strong Nuclear Force: This force is responsible for holding atomic nuclei together. It is mediated by the exchange of gluons, which are massless particles that carry the strong nuclear force. The strong nuclear force is about 100 times stronger than electromagnetism but only operates at very short distances, typically less than the size of a proton.
4. Weak Nuclear Force: This force is responsible for certain types of radioactive decay and other processes that involve the transformation of particles. It is mediated by the exchange of W and Z bosons, which are massive particles that carry the weak nuclear force. The weak nuclear force is much weaker than both electromagnetism and the strong nuclear force but has a longer range.
These particle interactions can be studied using high-energy particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, where particles are accelerated to very high speeds and then collided together. By analyzing the products of these collisions, scientists can learn more about the fundamental nature of matter and the forces that govern its behavior.
'Particle size' in a medical context refers to the diameter of a particle, often used to describe the size of particles inhaled from airborne substances or pharmaceutical formulations, with the measurement usually given in micrometers (µm).
In the context of medical and health sciences, particle size generally refers to the diameter or dimension of particles, which can be in the form of solid particles, droplets, or aerosols. These particles may include airborne pollutants, pharmaceutical drugs, or medical devices such as nanoparticles used in drug delivery systems.
Particle size is an important factor to consider in various medical applications because it can affect the behavior and interactions of particles with biological systems. For example, smaller particle sizes can lead to greater absorption and distribution throughout the body, while larger particle sizes may be filtered out by the body's natural defense mechanisms. Therefore, understanding particle size and its implications is crucial for optimizing the safety and efficacy of medical treatments and interventions.
