You are asked to design a spectral filter that practically removes 99.0% of the low energy photons in an X-ray beam. Such photons contribute to the patient dose without contributing to the image and are defined as no more than 1% of these photons making it to the other side of the patient. Assume a patient can be modelled as a 20cm thick homogenous object with linear attenuation coefficients as shown below in Table 1. What is the thickness of the filter needed to eliminate all the energies which satisfy the above requirement? Filter linear attenuation properties are given below in Table 2.

According to the article Alien Antimatter Crashes into Earth 2 : More than 60 years ago, future Nobel laureate Sheldon Glashow predicted that if an collided with an antineutrino the antimatter answer to the nearly massless neutrino electron, it could produce a cascade of other particles. The "Glashow resonance - phenomenon is hard to detect, in large part because the antineutrino needs about 1,000 %3D times more energy than what's produced in the most powerful colliders on Earth. Let's compare this event to an ordinary baseball with a mass of 146 g. Please use three significant figures in your calculations.
Question: The radionuclide Tc-99m is a gamma photon emitter. The emitted gamma photonenergy is 141 keV. The scintillation crystal in a Gamma camera will convert the single gammaphoton to a burst of visible photons.

Malignant tumors are commonlytreated with targeted x-ray radiation therapy. To generate these medicalx rays, a linear accelerator directs a high-energy beam of electronstoward a metal target—typically tungsten. As they near the tungsten nuclei,the electrons are deflected and accelerated, emitting high-energyphotons via bremsstrahlung. The resulting x rays are collimated into abeam that is directed at the tumor. The photons can deposit energy inthe tumor through Compton and photoelectric interactions. A typicaltumor has 108 cells/cm3, and in a full treatment, 4 MeV photons mayproduce a dose of 70 Gy in 35 fractional exposures on different days.The gray (Gy) is a measure of the absorbed energy dose of radiation perunit mass of tissue: 1 Gy = 1 J/kg. How much energy is imparted to one cell during one day’s treatment? Assume that the specific gravity of the tumor is 1 and that 1 J = 6 * 1018 eV.
