Messier 87 is a very strong source of gamma rays, which are the most energetic rays of the electromagnetic spectrum.
XRF is a well-established method of quantitative element analysis that is based on the ionization of the atoms of the material being irradiated by an energetic beam of primary X-rays [6, 7].
In the guise of soft gamma repeaters, they crackle with bursts of highly energetic gamma rays and x-rays.
This low concentration of radiocesium, however, will not cause any risk for babies because about 60 Bq/kg of radiopotassium, which has a similar chemical property and emits more energetic beta-rays and gamma-rays, naturally exists in their bodies (press release was only in Japanese).
In the production of a negatively charged electron by an energetic gamma ray, for example, a positively charged positron is produced simultaneously.
But a new ground-based detector in New Mexico, operated by Los Alamos National Laboratory and eight universities, has been able to record especially powerful bursts of gamma rays, including one registering nearly a trillion electron volts, by seeing the blue light from the showers of particles produced when an energetic gamma ray hits the atmosphere.
When those atoms are hit by energetic cosmic ray particles, they break up in fragments, including beryllium nuclei, which can't be produced by any other means.
Occasionally--perhaps once per century over each square kilometer of the planet's surface--a fantastically energetic cosmic ray will crash into Earth with energies 100 million times higher than in the Tevatron at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, the fiercest proton accelerator on Earth (ScienceNOW, 8 May 2000).
Two unusual features, not expected from the standard theory, are revealed: (1) the recovery time of a Forbush decrease can strongly depend on the energy; (2) an over-recovery is observed in the most energetic cosmic ray data (muon detector).
It is designed to detect energetic cosmic ray nuclei, leptons and photons with a high energy resolution ( ∼1% for electrons and photons and 20% for nuclei) and a large geometry factor (>3 m2 sr for electrons and diffuse photons and > [2]m2 sr for nuclei).
Each of these telescopes contains 58 nested gold-plated nickel mirrors (XMM stands for X-ray Multi-Mirror) that focus the highly energetic X-rays through the technique of grazing incidence, in which X-rays are reflected when they strike the mirrors at a very small angle.
