What Does OSSE Stand For?
OSSE stands for Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment
The Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) is a sophisticated instrument designed for the detection and analysis of gamma-ray emissions from astronomical sources. Utilizing scintillation-based detection technology, OSSE enhances the understanding of high-energy phenomena in the universe, such as black holes, supernovae, and pulsars. By measuring the energy and directionality of incoming gamma rays, the experiment contributes valuable data towards the advancement of astrophysics and the study of cosmic radiation.
