Gamma rays are produced by the nuclei of isotopes undergoing disintegration because of their basic instability. Isotopes are varieties of the same chemical elements but have different atomic weights. A parent element and its isotopes both have an identical number of protons in their nuclei but a di...
Moreover, the gamma-rays are produced from the decays of neutral pions and eta particles. Typically, high-energy neutrinos are always accompanied by gamma-rays. We assume that some of the protons inside the jet carry half of the relativistic jet power, 𝐿𝑝=𝛼𝑞𝑟𝑒𝑙𝐿𝑘𝑖...
Explore gamma rays. Learn the definition of a gamma ray and see its characteristics. Find the sources of gamma rays on Earth and outer space, and...
Delve into the world of gamma rays, the electromagnetic emissions from certain radioactive elements. Learn about their distinct nature and call the experts.
A flare of very high-energy gamma rays emitted from a galaxy halfway across the universe has put new bounds on the amount of background light in the universe and given astrophysicists clues to how and where such gamma rays are produced.
Very High Energy (VHE) gamma rays constitute one of the main pillars of high energy astrophysics. Gamma rays are produced under extreme relativistic conditions in the Universe. VHE gamma$ rays can be detected indirectly on the ground. Detection of these energetic photons poses several technological...
How are gamma rays produced? What technology uses gamma rays? What can gamma rays pass through? What gives off gamma rays? What is alpha radiation made up of? What are the properties of gamma rays? What is gamma radiation? Where do gamma rays come from?
“Our data show gamma rays with energies at least 20 times this, implying that the gamma rays are being produced in a different place, and probably by a different mechanism, than expected." Holder added that the small flashes of blue light caused when a gamma ray hits the atmosphere last...
Gamma-rays are emitted from unstable nuclei as they decay from excited nuclear levels to more stable ones. Therefore, gamma sources are characterized by discrete energy levels that vary in intensity, depending on the decay probability of each nuclear level. The common sources currently in use, in...
For example, it is uncertain exactly where in the kiloparsec- scale blazar jet γ-rays are produced and what the physical mechanisms responsible for the emission are. This thesis is an investigation in the physics and astronomy that can be learnt from studying the γ-ray energy spectra of ...
