THE STUDY OF THE LOW-ENERGY SOLAR AND CELESTIAL GAMMA RADIATION.

Abstract

Theoretical and design studies were conducted on gamma-radiation detectors for the energy range from 0.5 to 15 Mev. A NaI crystal detector and a gas Cerenkov detector were selected and used to obtain the gamma-ray growth curve from sea level to 125,000 ft. (Author)
