Design of a compact spectrometer for high-flux MeV gamma-ray beams.
A novel design for a compact gamma-ray spectrometer is presented. The proposed system allows for spectroscopy of high-flux multi-MeV gamma-ray beams with MeV energy resolution in a compact design. In its basic configuration, the spectrometer exploits conversion of gamma-rays into electrons via Compton scattering in a low-Z material. The scattered electron population is then spectrally resolved ...
متن کاملThe Gamma-ray Burst Rate at High Photon Energies 1
Some gamma-ray burst (GRB) spectra exhibit high energy tails with the highest photon energy detected at 18 GeV. The spectral slope of the high-energy tails is sufficiently flat in νF ν to consider the possibility of their detection at still higher energies. We calculate how many bursts can reasonably be expected above a given energy threshold for a cosmological distribution of bursts satisfying...
متن کاملTransient Gamma-Ray Spectrometer
Visible afterglow counterparts have now been detected for two GRBs (970228 and 970508) but are absent, with Lopt/Lγ ratios at least two orders of magnitude lower, for other GRBs, e.g., 970828. The causes of this variation are unknown. Any correspondence which could be discovered between the γ-ray properties of a GRB and its Lopt/Lγ would be useful, both in determining the GRB mechanisms, and in...
متن کاملCdZnTe Gamma Ray Spectrometer for Orbital Gamma Ray Spectroscopy
We present the design and analysis of a new gamma ray spectrometer for planetary science that uses an array of CdZnTe detectors to achieve the detection efficiency needed for orbital measurements. The use of CdZnTe will provide significantly improved pulse height resolution relative to scintillation-based detectors, with commensurate improvement in the accuracy of elemental abundances determine...
متن کاملThe NEAR X-Ray/Gamma-Ray Spectrometer
he X-Ray/Gamma-Ray Spectrometer on the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will remotely sense X-ray and gamma-ray emissions from the surface of near-Earth asteroid 433 Eros and look for characteristic “signatures” in those emissions to determine its elemental composition. During the planned 10 months of orbits about Eros beginning in early 1999, data returned from the instrument w...
