Gamma-ray lines from nuclei in cosmic sites
Event Start:
2018-08-24T11:00:00
Event End:
2018-08-24T12:00:00
Event Information:
Gamma-ray lines from cosmic sources display the action of nuclear reactions in cosmic sites. The gamma rays at such characteristic energies result from nuclear transitions following radioactive decays or high-energy collisions with excitation of nuclei. The gamma-ray line and its associated special continuum from the annihilation of positrons at 511 keV falls into the same energy window, although of different origin.
Event Location:
TRIUMF Auditorium
Speaker:
