Was a powerful cosmic explosion seen by the Einstein Probe launched by a supermassive black hole snacking on a star, by a ...

Gamma ray emission causes no change in the number of particles in the nucleus meaning both the atomic number and mass number remain the same. All types of radioactive decay can be detected by a ...

In strong magnetic fields, axions should occasionally decay into photons ... and the resulting gamma-ray burst could reveal a lot of detail. The team calculated that a particular type of axion ...

Scientists at EPFL have devised and tested out a new, gamma-noise method for monitoring nuclear reactors non-invasively and from a distance. The new method, tested out on EPFL's CROCUS nuclear ...

This site presents the energy and photon intensity of gamma rays as seen in thermal-neutron capture in two ... on behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Data Program and Nuclear Structure and Decay Data network.

energy of the gamma rays (prompt and delayed), decay mode, half-life and branching ratios. The CD-ROM included in this publication contains the database, the retrieval system and important electronic ...

The highly energetic explosion was initially attributed to a burst of gamma rays emitted either by the collision of two neutron stars or from the death of a massive star. Soon, however ...
