When you think of a radiation detector, you’re probably thinking of a Geiger tube and its high voltage circuitry. That isn’t the only way to measure gamma radiation, though, and [Alan] has a ...

Gamma-ray detectors play a crucial role in various fields, including nuclear physics, environmental monitoring, and radiation safety. The efficiency and calibration of these detectors are ...

X-ray and gamma ray detectors assess the spatial distribution, spectrum or other properties of x-ray and gamma ray emissions. The types of common detectors can be divided into three categories: ...

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 ...

The long-awaited detection of gravitational waves has opened ... such as a black hole merger or a gamma-ray burst. We'll need new equipment to detect such "multimodal" signals, especially ...

The new method also uses statistical analysis of the variability of gamma ray detection over time. Unlike conventional methods, which rely heavily on neutrons, gamma noise analysis focuses on the ...

On March 15, 2024, a space-based observatory detected bursts of low-energy X-rays from deep in the ancient universe, ...

Previous flares observed from the distant galaxy consisted of a few gamma rays per minute hitting the team's detector over several days. Another member of the team, John Finley, assistant professor of ...

Gamma rays are the shortest wavelength electromagnetic ... Enough energy arrived at Earth to activate lightning detectors. It’s not unusual for Earth’s atmosphere to be affected by space ...
