We lay the foundations for a new fast method to reconstruct the electron density in x-ray scanning applications using measurements in the dark field. This approach is applied to a type of machine configuration with fixed energy sensitive (or resolving) detectors, and where the X-ray source is polychromatic. We consider the case where the measurements in the dark field are dominated by the Compton scattering process. This leads us to a 2D inverse problem where we aim to reconstruct an electron density slice from its integrals over discs whose boundaries intersect the given source point. We show that a unique solution exists for smooth densities compactly supported on an annulus centred at the source point. Using Sobolev space estimates we determine a measure for the ill posedness of our problem based on the criterion given by Natterer (The mathematics of computerized tomography SIAM 2001). In addition, with a combination of our method and the more common attenuation coefficient reconstruction, we show under certain assumptions that the atomic number of the target is uniquely determined. We test our method on simulated data sets with varying levels of added pseudo random noise.

X-ray scattering is a weak linear probe of matter. It is primarily sensitive to the position of electrons and their momentum distribution. Elastic X-ray scattering forms the basis of atomic structural determination while inelastic Compton scattering
is often used as a spectroscopic probe of both single-particle excitations and collective modes. X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) are unique tools for studying matter on its natural time and length scales due to their bright and coherent ultrashort pulses. However, in the focus of an XFEL the assumption of a weak linear probe breaks down, and nonlinear light-matter interactions can become ubiquitous. The field can be sufficiently high that even non-resonant multiphoton interactions at hard X-rays wavelengths become relevant. Here we report the observation of one of the most fundamental nonlinear X-ray-matter interactions, the simultaneous Compton scattering of two identical photons producing a single photon at nearly twice the photon energy. We measure scattered photons with an energy near 18 keV generated from solid beryllium irradiated by 8.8-9.75 keV XFEL pulses. The intensity in the X-ray focus reaches up to 4x20 W/cm2, which corresponds to a peak electric field two orders of magnitude higher than the atomic unit of field-strength and within four orders of magnitude of the quantum electrodynamic critical field. The observed signal scales quadratically in intensity and is emitted into a non-dipolar pattern, consistent with the simultaneous two-photon scattering from free electrons. However, the energy of the generated photons shows an anomalously large redshift only present at high intensities. This indicates that the instantaneous high-intensity scattering effectively interacts with a different electron momentum distribution than linear Compton scattering, with implications for the study of atomic-scale structure and dynamics of matter
The recent development of energy-resolving cameras opens the way to new types of applications and imaging systems. In this work, we consider computerized tomography (CT) with fan beam geometry and equipped with such cameras. The measured radiation is
then a function of the positions of the source and detectors and of the energy of the incoming photons. Due to the Compton effect, the variations in energy (or spectrum) of the measurement are modeled in terms of scattering events leading to the so-called Compton scattering tomography (CST). We propose an analysis of the spectral data in terms of modelling and mapping properties which results in a general reconstruction strategy. Thanks to the supplementary information given by the energy, this joint CT-CST scanner makes accurate reconstructions of characteristics of the sought-for object possible for very few source positions and a small number of detectors. The general reconstruction strategy is finally validated on synthetic data via a total variation iterative scheme. We further show how the method can be extended to high energetic polychromatic radiation sources. Also illustrative, this work motivates the potential of combining conventional CT and Compton scattering imaging (CSI) with various architectures in 2D and 3D.
We propose a new acquisition geometry for electron density reconstruction in three dimensional X-ray Compton imaging using a monochromatic source. This leads us to a new three dimensional inverse problem where we aim to reconstruct a real valued func
tion $f$ (the electron density) from its integrals over spindle tori. We prove injectivity of a generalized spindle torus transform on the set of smooth functions compactly supported on a hollow ball. This is obtained through the explicit inversion of a class of Volterra integral operators, whose solutions give us an expression for the harmonic coefficients of $f$. The polychromatic source case is later considered, and we prove injectivity of a new spindle interior transform, apple transform and apple interior transform on the set of smooth functions compactly supported on a hollow ball. A possible physical model is suggested for both source types. We also provide simulated density reconstructions with varying levels of added pseudo random noise and model the systematic error due to the attenuation of the incoming and scattered rays in our simulation.
Here we present new $L^2$ injectivity results for 2-D and 3-D Compton scattering tomography (CST) problems in translational geometries. The results are proven through the explicit inversion of a new toric section and apple Radon transform, which desc
ribe novel 2-D and 3-D acquisition geometries in CST. The geometry considered has potential applications in airport baggage screening and threat detection. We also present a generalization of our injectivity results in 3-D to Radon transforms which describe the integrals of the charge density over the surfaces of revolution of a class of $C^1$ curves.
The article presents an efficient image reconstruction algorithm for single scattering optical tomography (SSOT) in circular geometry of data acquisition. This novel medical imaging modality uses photons of light that scatter once in the body to reco
ver its interior features. The mathematical model of SSOT is based on the broken ray (or V-line Radon) transform (BRT), which puts into correspondence to an image function its integrals along V-shaped piecewise linear trajectories. The process of image reconstruction in SSOT requires inversion of that transform. We implement numerical inversion of a broken ray transform in a disc with partial radial data. Our method is based on a relation between the Fourier coefficients of the image function and those of its BRT recently discovered by Ambartsoumian and Moon. The numerical algorithm requires solution of ill-conditioned matrix problems, which is accomplished using a half-rank truncated singular value decomposition method. Several numerical computations validating the inversion formula are presented, which demonstrate the accuracy, speed and robustness of our method in the case of both noise-free and noisy data.
