Blazars are among the largest and most energetic objects in the universe. Jets of matter (“jets”) shoot from the cores of these active galaxies shoot, which are accompanied by huge bursts of gamma rays. An international team led by Lars Fuhrmann from Bonn’s Max Planck Institute for Radio...
Commonly abbreviated as GCRs, these rays enter our solar system from the outside, but are generally formed within our galaxy. Space scientists believe that these types of cosmic rays are the result of powerful supernovae. Some GCRs interact with the interstellar medium and produce gamma rays. ...
not available for EP0174671of corresponding document: US4682033 A gamma camera (1), has a scintillation block with an entrance window (10) constituted by a mechanically stiff supporting structure which very slightly absorbs X and gamma rays. The entrance window (10) supporting the scintillation ...
Where do gamma rays come from? How does ionizing radiation cause radiation burns? Where are longitudinal waves found? When is the weak nuclear force encountered? Where are positrons found? What is alpha radiation? What radiation does cobalt-60 emit? How is ionizing radiation used? Where do sur...
Beta-decay is one of the three main types of radioactive decay, the other two being alpha decay, and gamma decay. This type of decay is characterized by the emission of beta rays. Beta rays are nothing but a collection of fast moving beta pa...
One of the more popular candidates for dark matter is Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, otherwise known as WIMPs. Underground detectors are currently hunting for WIMPs and debate has raged over whether gamma rays streaming from the galactic center come from WIMPs annihilating one another...
Radiationpenetrates directly into the body through the skin. Although radiation is all around us, we can receive it in higher levels from specific sources such as, radiotherapy, radio waves, television waves,microwave ovens, some electromagnetic gadgets, cell phones, x-rays, gamma rays, ultra-soun...
Moreover current non-water soluble scintillator materials are difficult to manufacture, owing to their high melting points and the thickness of the scintillator coating that has to be applied to stop X-rays from reaching and damaging the detector. The thick coatings also result in inefficient optica...
After listening to some studies about gamma rays applied to vanadia-phosphate semiconductors conducted by Hench and his coworkers, the colonel's question was simple, but at the same time, very inspirational: "If you can make a material that will survive exposure to high energy radiation, can ...
