The photodiode is actually sensitive enough to detect the small amounts of gamma radiation produced from a smoke alarm americium source, and also registers [Alan]’s other more powerful ...

Sigh No More is a 2yo b unknown from Ireland trained by J P O'Brien, who is based at Kilkenny. It is sired by the stallion Starspangledbanner out of the dam Silent Thoughts. Sigh No More has managed ...

Gamma rays are much shorter in wavelength than visible light, and carry a lot more energy—so much energy, that here on Earth we typically detect strong gamma-ray bursts only from the detonation ...

But a Geiger counter is a “yes or no” instrument ... For that, you need something like this gamma-ray spectroscope. Dubbed the Pomelo by [mihai.cuciuc], the detector is a homebrew solid ...

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 ...

low humidity and almost no air pollution," said Dr AK Mohanty, chairman, Atomic Energy Commission and India's nuclear chief. He said another few more gamma ray telescopes could be built here ...

These reactions have the potential to offer cleaner and more efficient energy production in the future. The research team is ...

According to the paper, no clear extended multiwavelength ... researchers concluded. More information: Zhen Cao et al, LHAASO detection of very-high-energy gamma-ray emission surrounding PSR ...

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.

Matsumoto said if one of the potential reasons for the JWST excess "is that stars are formed more efficiently in these galaxies, gamma-ray bursts should occur more frequently and could be detected ...

Thunderstorms are far more radioactive than previously thought, routinely producing gamma rays—the highest-energy form of electromagnetic radiation typically associated with supernovas and other ...

Cobalt-60 Used in medicine to treat cancer. Gamma rays can be focused on tumors. Iodine-131 Used to treat thyroid gland (in the neck). If the gland is enlarged, iodine-131 can be absorbed and will ...
