Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for the intro, hope you find enjoyment in the science of gamma ray spectrometry.

Hope you find some good reading here and don't forget to post and share your own work.

Cheers..

Re: Impulse for PC 😁

Notice: Just uploaded new executable versions for both PC and Mac. Got rid of the big device table on tab1 and replaced it with an input with a pulldown selection that refreshes on page load, looks a lot nicer. I also fixed a bug where the count rate chart was showing incorrect time during 3D spectr...

Re: Impulse for PC 😁

Works for me. After clicking on the executable it took some time to start, but it launched in the browser just fine. No idea if it "actually" works, though. It starts at least... :) Haha, you shall just have to get yourself a GS-PRO-V5 😊 Thanks for testing, I have a new version in the pip...

Re: Emergency Sonar Beacons

Tim,

I have no idea, but what has happened to the Titan is a tragic accident and I feel for the crew and passengers. There will no doubt be a full investigation with a bunch of recommendations. When everything electronic fails one needs a failsafe manual solution.

Re: Impulse for PC 😁

Hi Steven, I wanted to download the file but recently access to your site and forum from my location (Central Europe) is terribly slow. My download speed for that file is 8 KB/s which is something I've seen in the 90s.. So it looks like I won't be able to download it... Martin, Not sure could be an...

Tim,

I wrote a post about this a few months ago here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1072

Sorry I should have written a more meaningful subject line.

Tim,

That's right you got it now..

Elaborate inventions have been created to suppress compton, but at what cost ?

Re: Cs137 - Ratio between 662 KeV peak and Compton edge

Just to confirm, am I correct about what I asked about the chain reaction? Yes, not sure if chain reaction is the right description as it is only the initial energy being absorbed. We have to be careful how we describe interactions between photons and electrons, because at the quantum level it's wa...

Impulse for PC 😁

Good news we have a version of Impulse that will (hopefully) run on a PC without installing Python. I would really appreciate if some of you brave hackers out there give it a go and post the result below. This will give others the confidence to try. Don't be afraid to report a fail, otherwise I will...

Re: Cs137 - Ratio between 662 KeV peak and Compton edge

Do you have any idea how close it has to be to one of the sides of the crystal in order for energy leakage to happen? This will depend on the type of crystal and the energy of the gamma, the attached efficiency chart is for NaI crystal and was clipped from a Saint.Gobain publication. You are starti...
