CdZnTe 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 کاملInstrumentation for Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy
The subject of ttis chapter is the function and operation of the components of a gamma-ray spectroscopy system. In Chapter 3 it was shown that the output pulse amplitude from most gamma-ray detectors is proportional to the energy deposited by the gamma ray. The pulse-height spectrum from such a detector contains a series of full-energy peaks superimposed on a continuous Compton background. Alth...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Bursts from Neutron Star Kicks
The idea that gamma-ray bursts might be a kind of phenomena associated with neutron star kicks was first proposed by Dar & Plaga (1999). Here we study this mechanism in more detail and point out that the neutron star should be a high speed one (with proper motion larger than ∼ 1000 km/s). It is shown that the model agrees well with observations in many aspects, such as the energetics, the event...
متن کاملGamma-ray Bursts from Neutron Star Mergers
Binary neutron stars merger (NSM) at cosmological distances is probably the only γ-ray bursts model based on an independently observed phenomenon which is known to be taking place at a comparable rate. We describe this model, its predictions and some open questions. Cosmological γ-Ray Bursts and Fireballs Compton-GRO has demonstrated, quite convincingly, that γ-ray bursts (grbs) originate from ...
متن کاملGamma-ray Bursts from Neutron Star Binaries
We report on general relativistic hydrodynamic studies which indicate several new physical processes which may contribute to powering gamma-ray bursts in neutron star binaries. Relativistically driven compression, heating, and collapse of the individual stars can occur many seconds before inspiral and merger. This compression may produce a neutrino burst of ∼ 10 ergs lasting several seconds. Th...
