That isn’t the only way to measure gamma radiation, though, and [Alan] has a great circuit to measure even relatively weak radiation sources. It uses a very small photodiode, and draws so little ...

"The gamma-ray burst traveled through intergalactic space at the speed of light for eleven billion years, during which time the Sun and the planets were born." — Timothy Ferris, in the film ...

An unusual gamma-ray burst has challenged existing astrophysical models, leaving scientists searching for answers. This deep-space event defies expectations, hinting at new cosmic processes we may ...

Another member of the team, John Finley, assistant professor of physics at Purdue, says the current models describing such gamma-ray flares predict that variations should occur, but on the scale of ...

This site presents the energy and photon intensity of gamma rays as seen in thermal-neutron capture in two tables, one in ascending order of gamma energy and a second organized by Z, A of the target.

PGAA is particularly valuable as a non-destructive nuclear method in the measurement of elements that do not form neutron capture products with delayed gamma-ray emissions. Inaccurate and incomplete ...

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 ...

BurstCube may be small, but it has a big mission. NASA scientists will use the satellite to identify, pinpoint, and analyze short gamma-ray bursts, which are brief and strong flashes of light.

It does this by emitting a high energy electromagnetic wave called a gamma ray. Gamma radiation does not consist of particles but as short wavelength, high energy electromagnetic radiation emitted ...
