Hundreds of millions of miles away from Earth, the landscape of Titan, Saturn's largest moon, bears a striking resemblance to ...

Monte Carlo simulations have emerged as an indispensable tool in gamma‐ray spectrometry and detector calibration, offering nuanced insights into particle interactions and detector responses. By ...

The overlap and dynamic variation of measurement areas have long been key factors affecting the accuracy of airborne gamma-ray measurements. Addressing this challenge critically depends on the ...

One week from today, the MESSENGER spacecraft will fly by Mercury for the second time. As part of the final preparations for this encounter, the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (GRS) was placed in an “anneal ...

Calibration is a key moment in the life of a space telescope before launch. Those who have designed and built the instrument and the future users must precisely measure its performance before it ...

"GRETINA is one of the first systems to use gamma-ray energy tracking to trace the path of gamma rays emitted from nuclear reactions through crystals, resulting in unprecedented energy resolution and ...

THE scintillation spectrometer 1 using a sodium iodide crystal (thallium-activated) identifies the incident gamma-ray energy with the response to the photo-electric, Compton and (when energetically ...

Everything on the electromagnetic spectrum has some properties of both waves and particles, but it’s difficult to imagine a radio wave, for example, behaving like a particle. The main evidence for ...

A unique Kickstarter campaign has launched this week to provide a USB adapter for a DIY gamma ray spectroscopy. The Photomultiplier Tube USB adapter has been created by Italian developer Papadopol ...

HAMPSHIRE, ENGLAND—According to a statement released by the University of Reading, a gamma-ray spectrometer, a device normally used to identify radioactive contamination at nuclear sites, was tested ...
