RELATIfVE VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS OF ELECTRONS AND GAMMA RAYS AT 15 GeV
Measurements were made to detect differences in the velocity of propagation of gamma rays and electrons in the energy range 15 20 GeV, using a time-of-flight technique with 1 psec sensitivity and a flight path of -1 km. A relative velocity difference larger than l-P, (“5 x lo-lo ) would imply a breakdown of special relativity. No significant difference in the velocities of light and electrons w...
متن کاملPoint Sources of GeV Gamma - Rays
A catalog of gamma-ray sources based on photons with energies greater than 1 GeV has been developed from observations taken by the EGRET instrument o f the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. The data are taken from the 4.5 years of observation available in the public data archive. We emphasize sources which are detected using the entire database without regard to any possible transient o r v ariabl...
متن کاملStudies of Cosmic Rays with GeV Gamma Rays
We describe the role of GeV gamma-ray observations with GLAST-LAT (Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope Large Area Telescope) in identifying interaction sites of cosmic-ray proton (or hadrons) with interstellar medium (ISM). We expect to detect gamma rays from neutral pion decays in high-density ISM regions in the Galaxy, Large Magellanic Cloud, and other satellite galaxies. These gamma-ray sou...
متن کاملLooking at Gamma Rays
The gamma-ray imaging spectrometer (GRIS) we have assembled comprises four coaligned, independent imagers, each with its own detector and coded-aperture mask (Figure 1). Each detector “sees” incoming gamma rays only through its mask, which serves as the imaging optic for the gamma rays (see box, pp. 1819). This mask is mounted on a movable mask plate in front of the detector plane; moving the p...
متن کاملThe Relative Effects of X-Rays, Gamma Rays and Beta Rays on Chromosomal Breakage in Tradescantia.
OR some time it has been generally considered that the production of F chromosomal aberrations in Tradescantia and many other materials is essentially independent of the wave length of the exciting radiation in the region shorter than 1.5 A. This view has not been seriously questioned in recent years and to date has remained one of the fundamental tenets of radiobiology. A number of isolated in...
