It's not easy to imagine how high the frequency of a high-energy gamma ray is. During the time it takes for its wave to go through one cycle, a gamma-ray wave traveling at the speed of light will ...
"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 ...
"This field did not exist before 1989 when the first gamma ray source was detected. At that point, we knew of four sources in the world," said Dave Kieda, professor in the Department of Physics ...
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 ...
