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: ...

Researchers found for the first time evidence that even microquasars containing a low-mass star are efficient particle accelerators, which leads to a significant impact on the interpretation of the ...

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 ...

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