Title: | Inverse Source Problems for the Linear Transport Equation |
Time: | 4:00-5:00 pm |
Place: | Blocker 627 |
Note: | This is a joint NA/Applied Math seminar. Note the unusual time and place. |
The inverse source problem in linear transport theory is known to have a non unique solution. In this talk I will apply the attenuated Radon transform (atRT) to trivially extend the reconstruction to 3D energy-dependent problems with isotropic scattering and then analyze the possibility of a regularization for the inverse problem; the latter is only possible if the unknown source is known to be isotropic. I'll then introduce reconstruction techniques based on a generalized Green's function formula.
