This site presents the energy and photon intensity of gamma rays as seen in thermal-neutron capture in two tables, one in ascending order of gamma energy and a second organized by Z, A of the target.

The discovery, and the newly identified position of the binary companion, mean we no longer have to fret about the Pinwheel star's imminent supernova. We now know it's oriented in such a way that its ...

Where are the particles responsible for the emission of gamma rays accelerated ... but highlighted that the position angle of the asymmetry had changed." The team's research was published on ...

The battery uses a scintillator crystal to transform the intense gamma rays from radioisotopes into electricity and can produce more than a microwatt of power. According to its developers at Ohio ...

A new way to locate peat soils using gamma ray detectors mounted on aircraft has been developed by Irish scientists. Most of Ireland’s peatlands emit carbon because of land drainage and peat ...

An isotope emits gamma rays that easily pass through the body to a detector outside the body, for example a ‘gamma camera’. In this way, the radioactive isotope can be followed as it flows ...

The thicker the substance, the more the radiation is absorbed. Alpha, beta and gamma radiations penetrate materials in different ways. Alpha radiation is the least penetrating. It can be stopped ...
