What Is a Gamma Radiation Detector?
Gamma radiation detectors are devices designed to detect gamma rays.
A type of high-energy electromagnetic wave with shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than X-rays. They have powerful penetration capabilities, allowing them to pass through various materials. These detectors accurately capture gamma rays and record data like entry time and energy values.
Gamma radiation detectors are used in medical applications such as CT scans and radiation therapy, and in industrial non-destructive testing of equipment and materials. They also measure the type and quantity of radioactive materials, contributing to environmental conservation.
