Introduction to Gamma Spectroscopy

This webinar was in partnership with AURPO.
The techniques of gamma-ray spectroscopy/spectrometry have a broad range of applications from medical imaging to environmental monitoring. This webinar focussed on how large gamma-ray spectrometer arrays are being used to uncover to some of the outstanding questions about the structure and properties of the atomic nucleus.
Professor David Joss, The University of Liverpool, presented this webinar.

good lecture ty

Nice talk!! I have a question--why Ge detectors are needed to be cooled to 77K temperature!??

[@irishyell]

semiconductors have a "gap" thats very easy for electrons to jump across and create a "false" signal, resulting in noise. lowering the temperature decreases the probability for thermal excitation so you're much more likely to be reading the actual gamma ray signals you want

[@thomasmaughan4798]

Thermal noise has application in astrophotography as well. Cool the sensor so that it does not "see itself".
