Accelerating computed tomographic imaging spectrometer reconstruction using a parallel algorithm exploiting spatial shift-invariance

Computed Tomographic Imaging Spectrometers (CTIS) capture hyperspectral images in realtime. However, post processing the imagery can require enormous computational resources; thus, limiting its application to non-realtime scenarios. To overcome these challenges we developed a highly parallelizable algorithm that exploits spatial shift-invariance. To demonstrate the versatility of our new algorithm, we developed implementations on a desktop and an embedded graphics processing unit (GPU). To our knowledge, our results show the fastest image reconstruction times reported.

Probing the sensitivity of the total nucleus-nucleus reaction cross section at intermediate energies to medium effects and isospin asymmetries

This paper presents reaction cross section predictions. These predictions are the result of a continuous pipeline which originates from a microscopic nuclear interaction. Density parameters and effective nucleon-nucleon cross sections (both involved in the reaction calculations) are by-products of the same equation of state. First, we perform tests of sensitivity to medium effects using reactions involving 208-Pb, a stable but weakly isospin-asymmetric nucleus. We also show predictions for collisions of some neutron-rich isotopes of Calcium and Argon. We observe significant sensitivity of the reaction cross section to medium effects but very weak sensitivity to inclusion of isospin asymmetry in the effective nucleon-nucleon cross sections.
