Sensitivity of γ-Ray Detectors to Polarization
The EGRET instrument aboard CGRO is the largest γ-ray detector to date and has collected several thousand photons above 30 MeV for the strongest sources, the Vela and Crab pulsars. Most of the energy output of young pulsars is in beamed γ rays which emission models predict to posses a high degree of linear polarization (eg. Romani and Yadigaroglu 1995), and polarization observations would prove...
متن کاملTagging fast neutrons from a 252Cf fission-fragment source.
Coincidence and time-of-flight measurement techniques are employed to tag fission neutrons emitted from a 252Cf source sealed on one side with a very thin layer of Au. The source is positioned within a gaseous 4He scintillator detector. Together with α particles, both light and heavy fission fragments pass through the thin layer of Au and are detected. The fragments enable the corresponding fis...
متن کاملSimulations of black hole air showers in cosmic ray detectors
We present a comprehensive study of TeV black hole events in Earth’s atmosphere originated by cosmic rays of very high energy. An advanced fortran Monte Carlo code is developed and used to simulate black hole extensive air showers from ultrahigh-energy neutrino-nucleon interactions. We investigate the characteristics of these events, compare the black hole air showers to standard model air show...
متن کاملComparison of the Gamma-Ray Burst Sensitivity of Different Detectors
Gamma-ray burst detectors are sensitive at different energies, complicating the comparison of the burst populations that they detect. The instrument teams often report their detector sensitivities in their instruments’ energy band. I propose that sensitivities be reported as the threshold peak photon flux FT over the 1–1000 keV energy band for a specific spectral shape. The primary spectral par...
متن کاملComparison of various sensitivity approaches to estimate evapotranspiration, to climatic variables in Fasa-synoptic station_Iran
Sensitivity analysis to determine variations in evapotranspiration is much important considering a known variation in one of climatic variables. In this study, sensitivity of evapotranspiration from Penmann-Mantith, Penmann-Kimberly (1996), Penman-Kimberly (1972) and Penmann (1984) and Hargrivs (1985) approaches to three climatic variations (maximum temperature, wind speed, solar radiation) wa...
