The detector array consists of plastic scintillator detectors, quadrant silicon detectors (QSD), double-sided silicon detectors (DSSD) and high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors. Exotic nuclei near ...

THE DESIRE TO DETECT ever fewer photons and ions, including some at great distances from Earth, pushes the frontiers of analytical capability. A symposium at Pittcon in Chicago earlier this month ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...
