The document discusses four main mechanisms by which photons interact with matter: coherent scattering, photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, and pair production. It provides details on each mechanism, noting that the photoelectric effect dominates at low energies, pair production at very high energies above 1 MeV, and Compton scattering is predominant at medium energies. It also discusses absorption and transmission of photons in materials, how attenuation coefficients vary with photon energy and material properties like atomic number, and the spatial distribution of secondary radiation produced.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Interaction of photons with matter occur by 4 mechanisms:-
1) Coherent scattering
2) Photoelectric effect
3) Compton scattering
4) Pair production
3. PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT
Photon interacts with a ‘bound’ electron
Photon disappears Bound electron leaves
completely the atom
Photon energy Binding energy + Kinetic energy
4.
5. Ejection of an electron
– atom becomes ionised and highly unstable
– vacancy filled by electron from outer shell
– original neutrality and electron balance restored by an
electron from outside being attracted into the ionised
atom
6.
7. THE PHOTOELECTRIC CO-EFFICIENT(Γ)
The mass photo-electric attenuation co-efficient
(γ/ρ) = k Z3/E3
- directly proportional to the cube of the atomic
number of the attenuator (Z3)
- inversely proportional to the cube of the radiation
energy(E3)
8.
9. Over a wide range of energy, the value of γ/ρ for lead is
about 250 times as that of aluminium ( the ratio of the
cube of their atomic numbers is 251:1)
There is a rapid general decrease in attenuation co-
efficient as radiation energy is increased , the rate of fall
being in accordance with the stated dependance on the
inverse of the cube of the radiation energy
Sudden breaks occur and produce sudden departures of
the smooth variation so far implied
10. ABSORPTION EDGES
Sudden changes in the attenuation of the radiation
occur at photon energies equal to the binding
energies of the different electronic shells
The likelihood or probability of an electron
interacting with a photon increases the nearer the
energy of the photon is to the binding energy of that
particular electron
11. Absorption edges have two important consequences
In their neighbourhood, lower energy photons are less
attenuated and therefore more penetrating than higher
energy photons which is in direct contrast to the general
situation
Any substance is relatively transparent to its own
characterisitic radiation, the energies of which are always
atleast a little less than the corresponding binding
energies
12. PAIR PRODUCTION
The photon interacts with the electromagnetic field
of the nucleus and gives up all its energy in the
process of creating an electron and a positron
Since the rest mass energy of each particle is 0.51
MeV, the photon energy should be atleast 1.02 MeV
for this to happen
The total kinetic energy carried by the pair
is (hυ- 1.02 )MeV
13.
14. ANNIHILATION
The positron loses its energy as it traverses through
the medium
Near the end of the track with almost no energy left
it combines with an electron and the total mass of
these two particles is converted into two photons
each with 0.51 MeV ejected in opposite directions
15. PAIR PRODUCTION CO-EFFICIENT
Pair production occurrence likelihood increases with field
magnitude-> nuclear charge or the atomic number of
the irradiated material
Pair production increases with radiation energy
16. PHOTONUCLEAR REACTIONS
If a photon has an energy greater than the binding
energy that holds the neutrons and protons
together in the nucleus , it can enter the nucleus
and eject a particle from it , which is mostly a
neutron
The photon disappears completely
Any energy in excess of that needed to remove the
particle would be the kinetic energy of the particle
17. TRANSMISSION
Some photons do not pass through the material
and are transmitted
Their energy and penetrating power are unaltered
Reduction in number but the survivors are not
affected
18.
19. The photo-electric effect dominates the attenuation
scene at low photon energies especially in the higher
atomic number materials
Pair production takes command for very high energies
and especially for higher atomic number elements
For medium photon energies and especially for
elements of low atomic number, the Compton scattering
process is the main method of attenuation.
20.
21. The main general features of the attenuation picture are
That the photo-electric effect falls off rapidly with
increasing energy
That scattering decreases as photon energy increases
That scattering is the predominant process over the
medium energy range
That the penetrating power of an X-ray beam increases
with increasing energy until energies > 1 MeV are
reached
22. The smaller the attenuation co-efficient the more
penetrating the beam
Increasing pair production reverses the trend
Very high energy radiations are somewhat less
penetrating than lower energy radiations
26. Unmodified scattering involves no absorption
In Compton scattering part of the energy removed from
the beam is absorbed and less and less scattered
The photo-electric process is not one of complete
absorption since part of the energy of the photon
originally removed is re-radiated as characteristic
radiation
For pair production , all but 1.02 MeV of the abstracted
energy is absorbed
27. At low energies where the photo-electric effect
predominates the two co-efficients are almost identical as
they are in the very high-energy range where most of the
attenuation is by pair production.
Marked difference between the co-efficients in the range
40keV to 4MeV because here Compton process is the
main cause of attenuation
28. Especially in the lower part of this range the
scattered photons retain much of the original
energy so that a relatively small part of the energy
removed from the beam is absorbed by air. For eg.
Only 15 percent for 100 keV photons
29. A noteworthy point about the absorption curve for air is
its relative independence of photon energy over a wide
range.
For a hundred fold range of energy the co-efficient
varies by little more than a factor of two
31. The low absorption value for low photon energies
shows the effect of the scattered photon retaining
most of the available energy while the falling value
at higher energies is due to the steady reduction of
σ/ρ with energy
32. Over a wide range of intermediate energies the mass
absorption co-efficients are practically identical.
This is the energy range of Compton process
predominance which does not depend on atomic number
but only on electron density
All substances which don’t contain hydrogen will have
nearly the same mass absorption and attenuation co-
efficients in the energy range in which the Compton effect
predominates
33. SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF SECONDARY RADIATION
Scattered radiation
Characteristic radiation SECONDARY
Annihilation radiation RADIATION
Due to interaction of radiation with matter electrons
are freed from their parent atoms and set in motion.
X-rays are found travelling in any direction
34. Recoil electrons travel forward never making an angle of
more than 90 degrees with the initial photon and
generally at a much smaller angle
Photo-electrons and electron pairs though more
randomly emitted also tend to travel forward especially
for high energy radiation
Characteristic and annihilation radiations are given out in
all directions , therefore their distribution is isotropic and
are the scattered photons for low energy beams
35. In the megavoltage range (1-10 MeV) principally used for
radiotherapy, the vast majority of the secondary radiation
will be Compton scattered photons and at these energies
will travel in a forward direction having suffered
completely small angle scattering.
Very little of this radiation suffers 180 degrees scatter. i.e.
there is very little back scatter.
