METHOD FOR FINDING DIRECTION TO PERMANENT POINT SOURCES OF GAMMA-RADIATION IN SPACE

摘要

A method for finding direction to permanent point sources of gamma-radiation in space wherein determination of direction to gamma-source is carried out by measurement of the ratio of densities of photon flux registered by detectors. The detectors are placed in absorbers with given geometric form that determines respective density of photon flux in inverse proportion to the thickness of the absorber which the photons pass, and the ratio of densities of photon fluxes one to another makes it possible to find the direction to permanent sources of gamma-radiation in plane or in space by coefficients of proportionality or the thickness of absorber upstream of detectors by direction of propagation of gamma-radiation determined by the formula:wherein,.
