Scanner for gamma-ray detectors
The core principle of segmented detectors like AGATA [1], GRETA [2], that will be used in future for 4π gamma detection arrays, is the application of the concept of pulse shape analysis (PSA). The key ingredient for this analysis is a data base containing pulses for all the interaction points inside the segmented detector. A full 3D scanning of the detectors, which experimentally determines pul...
متن کاملNeutron-loaded outflows in gamma-ray bursts
Relativistic neutron-loaded outflows in gamma-ray bursts are studied at their early stages, before deceleration by a surrounding medium. The outflow has four components: radiation, electrons, protons and neutrons. The components interact with each other and exchange energy as the outflow expands. The presence of neutrons significantly changes the outflow evolution. Before neutrons decouple from...
متن کاملGamma Ray Astronomy with Underground Detectors
Underground detectors measure the directions of up-coming muons of neutrino origin. They can also observe down-going muons made by gamma rays in the Earth’s atmosphere. Although gamma ray showers are muon-poor, they produce a sufficient number of muons to detect the sources observed by GeV and TeV telescopes. With a threshold higher by one hundred and a probability of muon production of about 1...
متن کاملNeutron-fed afterglows of gamma-ray bursts
A neutron component is practically inevitable in baryonic fireballs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). At late stages of the explosion, the neutrons fully decouple from the ion ejecta and coast freely. The presence of the neutron ejecta qualitatively changes the mechanism of the GRB afterglow. The neutrons lead the decelerating blast wave and gradually decay, leaving behind a trail of the decay produc...
متن کاملAnalogies between neutron and gamma-ray imaging
Although the physics describing the interactions of neutrons with matter is quite different from that appropriate for hard x-rays and gamma rays, there are a number of similarities that allow analogous instruments to be developed for both types of ionizing radiation. A pinhole camera, for example, requires that the radiation obeys some form of geometrical optics, that a material can be found to...
