I HAVE recently investigated the possibility of using the Townsend electron avalanche process in a gas in a stage-by-stage system to give a highly stable electron-multiplication factor, and have ...

Gas detectors and photon detection systems play a pivotal role in experimental physics, medical imaging and security applications by converting radiation into measurable electrical signals. These ...

For my thesis project, I designed, built, and flew a soft x-ray spectrograph on board a suborbital sounding rocket. The instrument, named the Off-plane Grating Rocket for Extended Source Spectroscopy ...
