Gamma-ray background: a review
The gamma-ray background is still a subject under great debate. All phenomena in the universe emitting gamma-rays can contribute directly as diffuse emission or as an isotropic component from unresolved point sources. The question of the origin of the extragalactic component cannot be answered without determining the galactic emission. To discuss in detail all models resulting in gamma-ray back...
متن کاملThe Guaranteed Gamma-ray Background
The diffuse extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGRB) above 100 MeV encodes unique information about high-energy processes in the universe. Numerous sources for the EGRB have been proposed, but the two systems which are certain to make some contribution are active galaxies (blazars) as well as normal galaxies. In this paper, we evaluate the contribution to the background from both sources. The ...
متن کاملThe Extragalactic Gamma-Ray Background
The COMPTEL and EGRET detectors aboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory measured an extragalactic γ-ray background (EGRB) extending from ∼ 1 MeV to ∼ 100 GeV. Calculations performed making reasonable assumptions indicate that blazars can account for the background between ∼ 10 MeV and ∼ 10 GeV. Below 30 MeV, the background flux and spectrum are not very well determined and a dedicated satellit...
متن کاملStudy of the X-Ray Background Spectrum and its Large-Scale Fluctuation with ASCA
We studied the energy spectrum and the large-scale fluctuation of the X-ray background with the ASCA GIS instrument based on the ASCA Medium Sensitivity Survey and Large Sky Survey observations. A total of 91 fields with Galactic latitude |b|>10◦ was selected, with the sky coverage of 50 deg and 4.2 Ms of exposure. For each field, non X-ray events were carefully subtracted and sources brighter ...
متن کاملOptical simulation and experimental measurement of gamma ray energy spectrum of plastic scintillators with different sizes
The application of large plastic scintillators is widely increasing in the different areas of industry, medicine and security due to technical and economic advantages. One of the main disadvantages of these detectors is the unknown position of Compton edge at gamma ray spectrum. In this research, GEANT4/GATE code has been used to simulate the gamma ray spectrum for different volumes of large pl...
