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 ...

So as you can see the detector is actually pretty robust in that regard. Background spectrum (2h) with no samples: Spectrum (2h) of two tiny (~5 g) LYSO scintillator showing two distinct gamma peaks ...

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 ...

This is the development code for a LaBr3 gamma ray detector for DRAGON at TRIUMF. The intention of the simulation development is to test various properties and characteristics of LaBr3 to be used in a ...

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 ...

An X-ray detector is an electronic device that detects radiation of X-ray or gamma ray for imaging purposes. X-ray imaging is an important non-destructive testing (NDT) technique for products such as ...

high-purity germanium gamma ray detector. Twenty-one 30B cylinders containing UF6 of varying origin were analyzed with an HPGe detector for high-energy gamma ray and neutron counts. Excellent ...

Spectral gamma ray logging is based on the principle that different radioactive elements emit gamma rays with different energy levels. By using a scintillation detector and a multichannel analyzer ...

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

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- An international team of astronomers has observed extremely rapid bursts of high-energy gamma rays from a distant galaxy, an observation that is challenging how astronomers ...
