Statistical study of electron flux in Martian space environment
地球与行星物理论评, 2022 The distributions of electrons at different regions in the Martian space environment play a significant role in the planet's evolution. However, the distributions of electrons in the entire Martian space remain unclear. Here, using MAVEN data during 2015～

Gamma-ray Bursts at the Highest Energies
Universe, 2021 Emission from Gamma-ray bursts is thought to be powered mainly by synchrotron radiation from energetic electrons. The same electrons might scatter these synchrotron seed photons to higher (>10 GeV) energies, building a distinct spectral component ...

Dosimetry for New Radiation Therapy Approaches Using High Energy Electron Accelerators
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 We have performed dosimetry studies using electron beams with energies up to 50 MeV, which exceed current clinical energy ranges and approaches the bottom end of the very high energy electron range. 50 MeV electron beams can reach deep-seated tumors.
