Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) is a widely used non-destructive technique for micro and trace multi-element analysis of materials. Conventional trials show that using laboratory assisted EDXRF measurements, one can obtain…

Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) are used in many particle physics experiments, employing their 'standard' configuration with amplification holes of 140 um pitch in a hexagonal pattern. However, the collection of the charge cloud from the…

The FREGATE gamma ray detector of HETE-2 is sensitive to photons between 6 and 400 keV. This sensitivity range, extended towards low energies, allows us to explore the emission of GRBs in hard X-rays. We fit the spectra of 23 GRBs with…
