Using 4 million year old radioactive sharks' teeth, a sodium iodine scintillator and a gamma ray spectrometer, a group of Lamar University scientists believe they are on track to developing a new way ...

Radioactive decay produces three flavors of emissions: alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha particles comprise 2 neutrons and 2 protons. Because of their large mass and relatively slow speed, alpha particles ...

The Model 44-2 is a 1" X 1" NaI(Tl) Gamma Scintillator that can be used with several different instruments including survey meters, scalers, ratemeters, and alarm.

The Model 44-3 is a 1" X 1mm NaI(Tl) Gamma Scintillator for low energy gamma that can be used with several different instruments including survey meters, scalers, ratemeters, and alarm ratemeters.

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory scientists launched the second Strontium Iodide Radiation Instrument (SIRI-2) instrument in December 2021 onboard Space Test Program (STP) Sat-6. SIRI-2, a gamma-ray ...

Detecting the tell-tale gamma radiation that might indicate the presence of nuclear devices or materials is a pressing concern for anti-terrorism efforts, and technology to do so is now considered ...

A unique facility is devoted to the research and development of novel and pioneering radiation detector technologies at Kansas State University. The Semiconductor Materials and Radiological ...
