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 ...

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: ...

The long-awaited detection of gravitational waves has opened up a whole new world of astronomy. One of the key efforts is now ...

THE recent development of scintillation counters as high-efficiency detectors of gamma-radiation makes attractive the possibility of detecting neutrons by means of the γ-rays produced in many ...

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 ...

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 ...

A gamma ray detector on a device developed by a Cornish company is being used to assess soil quality. Farmer Malcolm Barrett, a tenant farmer from St Tudy near Bodmin, is working with scientists ...

Using a gamma camera - special gamma ray detector - these areas can be located. Medical instruments are too expensive to be thrown away once they have been used, so they are washed several times ...

Robot dogs could help farmers more quickly assess the health of soil, scientists hope as a technology trial takes place in Cornwall. A gamma ray detector on a device developed by a Cornish company ...
