For that you need a different instrument called a gamma-ray spectrometer. Spectrometers are usually expensive and complex instruments aimed at radiation professionals. But it doesn’t have to be ...

For that, you need something like this gamma-ray spectroscope. Dubbed the Pomelo by [mihai.cuciuc], the detector is a homebrew solid-state scintillation counter made from a thallium-doped cesium ...

This article discusses simple processes for addressing the random and systematic errors caused by the dead time in a gramma-ray spectrometer ... for Counting Loss Correction with Uncertainty in Gamma ...

Princeton Gamma-Tech Instruments is a leading supplier of X-ray and Gamma-ray Detectors and Spectroscopy systems, portable Radioisotope Identifiers, and portable Chemical Analyzers. We serve a ...

Languages: English. You can get in touch with Jess by emailing j.thomson@newsweek.com. A massive gamma-ray burst spotted by scientists last year is possibly the most powerful ever detected in the ...

The bright flash of gamma-ray light was first detected by NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory on October 19, 2019. The explosion lasted just over a minute — considered long, like any gamma ...

Late last year, scientists spotted a 50-second-long blast of energy coming towards Earth, known as a gamma-ray burst or GRB ... through a process known as spectroscopy. “Unfortunately, even ...

Astronomers have discovered that the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever seen had a unique jet structure and was dragging an unusually large amount of stellar material along with it. This might ...

'We found a much stronger signal, and in a different part of the sky, than the one we were looking for.' Astronomers have discovered an unexpected and unexplained feature outside our Milky Way ...

Because the film was stacked like a pancake, the team could track the trajectory of gamma ray particles, and the aparatus’s position in the stratosphere eliminated any would-be ground interference.
