ROMFORSK-Program for romforskning

Terrestrial Gamma Flashes - the Most Energetic Photon Phenomenon in our Atmosphere

Gjennom ASIM prosjektet har vi utviklet en detektor modul for måling av gamma-fotoner som blir produsert i forbindelse med tordensystemer, de såkallte terrestrial gamma flashes (TGF), eller jordiske gammaglimt. Vi videreutvikler dette modulære konseptet for å optimalisere instrumentets egenskaper...
