چکیده
The Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) on the Arthur Holly Compton Gamma Ray Observatory satellite uses four actively-shielded NaI(Tl)-CsI(Na) phoswich detectors to provide gamma-ray line and continuum detection capability in the 0:05 ? 10 MeV energy range. The instrument includes secondary capabilities for gamma-ray and neutron detection between 10 and 250 MeV. The detectors have 3:8 11:4 (FWHM) elds-of-view deened by tungsten collimators. Each detector has an independent, single-axis orientation system which permits ooset pointing from the spacecraft Z-axis for background measurements and multi-target observations. The instrument, its calibration and performance are described.

متن کاملDetermination of chemical and radiochemical purity of [14C] clozapine by high performance liquid chromatography and liquid scintillation [Persian]
Introduction: The mechanism of action and metabolism of clozapine, a complex drug used in psychopharmacology, is not completely understood. The effects of this compound in human body are related to some interactions with serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter receptors. To further elucidate the mechanism of action and to support ongoing drug metabolism studies, [14C] clozapine with suita...

متن کاملA beta-ray spectrometer for coincidence measurements
An intermediate image beta-ray spectrometer has been constructed utilizing the focusing properties of a Ushaped magnetic field distribution. The construction and performance of the instrument are discussed. A transmission of ten percent has been attained with a resolution of about six percent. A scintillation spectrometer is used in conjunction with the intermediate image spectrometer for the p...
متن کاملExploring Solar Flares with Gamma Rays and Neutrons
Gamma-ray and neutron emissions from solar flares carry information about the flaring process and conditions within the flaring magnetic loop. Extraction of this information from solar flare measurements requires an ionacceleration, transport, and interaction model with parameters directly related to those physical processes. In this paper we describe such a magnetic-loop model. Each of the gam...
