Off-Axis Gamma Ray Burst Contribution to the Diffuse Gamma Ray Background in the 100-600 keV Range

Creator:

Hodges, Isaac

Abstract:

Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are short, intense pulses of gamma rays that emit radiation in a narrow beam. Unless the beam is oriented towards the observer, it is often difficult to resolve the bursts against the diffuse gamma ray background (DGRB). The DGRB is a measured source of gamma rays...
