The origin of the diffuse gamma-ray background (DGRB), the one that remains after subtracting all individual sources from observed gamma-ray sky, is unknown. The DGRB possibly encompasses contributions from different source populations such as star-forming galaxies, starburst galaxies, active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, or galaxy clusters. Here, we combine cosmological magnetohydrodynamical simulations of clusters of galaxies with the propagation of cosmic rays (CRs) using Monte Carlo simulations, in the redshift range z ≤ 5.0, and show that the integrated gamma-ray flux from clusters can contribute up to 100% of the DGRB flux observed by Fermi-LAT above 100 GeV, for CRs spectral indices α = 1.5 - 2.5 and energy cutoffs [Formula: see text] eV. The flux is dominated by clusters with masses 10 ≲ M/M ≲ 10 and redshift z ≲ 0.3. Our results also predict the potential observation of high-energy gamma rays from clusters by experiments like the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC), the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), and potentially the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA).

Department of Computer Sciences, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Semiconductor detectors for high-energy sensing are essential in various fields, including astronomy and medical imaging, and require precise characterization for optimal performance.
- Current simulation methods mainly focus on charge dynamics after photon absorption but often ignore factors like charge diffusion and Coulomb repulsion that affect detector behavior.
- This study evaluates existing simulation methods and introduces a new Monte Carlo technique that balances accuracy with computational efficiency, improving performance predictions for these detectors.
Detection and molecular insights into the azurin gene expression post- gamma irradiation in P. aeruginosa.

Article Synopsis
- Azurin, a metabolite produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, has potential therapeutic benefits, leading researchers to explore methods to increase its production through gamma radiation.
- A study involved 76 P. aeruginosa isolates from environmental and clinical samples, revealing a high rate (71%) of multidrug-resistant strains, with only 37 showing the azurin gene.
- The research found that low doses of gamma radiation (50-100 Gy) significantly boosted azurin production in clinical isolates, suggesting a promising approach for enhancing its production for medical uses.
Development of α-ray visualization survey meter in high gamma and neutron background environment.
Radiat Prot Dosimetry

Radiation Protection Department, Nuclear Fuel Cycle Engineering Laboratories, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, 4-33 Muramatsu, Tokai-mura, Ibaraki 319-1194, Japan.
A survey meter was developed to reliably detect and visualize surface contamination of suits and objects by α-nuclides in high γ/n-rays background radiation environment. The survey meter features a semi-opaque ZnS:Ag scintillator mounted directly onto a multi-anode photomultiplier tube (MA-PMT) and amplification circuits, ensuring output gain equalization for all channels. α-ray events induce localized light emission in thin-film scintillators.

Collaborative Innovation Center of Steel Technology, University of Science and Technology Beijing, Beijing 100083, China.
The use of a rapid heating method to achieve heterogeneity of Mn in medium-manganese steel and improve its comprehensive performance has been widely studied and these techniques have been widely applied. However, the heating rate (from α to γ) has not received sufficient attention with respect to its microstructure-evolution mechanism. In this study, the effect of heating rate on the microstructure evolution and hardness of heterogeneous medium-manganese steel was investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and DICTRA simulation.

γ-Cyclodextrin-based metal-organic frameworks (γ-CD-MOF) were successfully synthesized using the solvent diffusion method and applied as carriers for trans-N-p-coumaroyltyramine (N-p-t-CT, NCT) to study the solubability, stability, sustained release and inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase. The solubilization effect of γ-CD-MOF on N-p-t-CT was performed using impregnation (NCT@CD-MOF-1) and co-crystallization (NCT@CD-MOF-2) methods. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and N adsorption/desorption were used to characterize the MOFs before and after loading NCT.
