If a MIP travels through a plastic scintillator, would photons be generated at random angles inside the plastic from the path of the particle, or would there be some momentum conservation (more of a conical release)?
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
So I’m reading about how scintillator detectors detect incident gamma rays and I’m getting slightly confused. An incident photon comes in and deposits it’s energy into the crystal (either through photo absorption or through Compton scattering and then absorption). The result is an ionised electron on the crystal that moves through the crystal. This exites other electrons in the crystal that then de excite and produce photons. Is it these photons that then hit the photocathode and are detected? As they cannot be reabsorbed by the crystal due to their energy not being equal to a band gap due to doping.
Is that understanding correct?
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
IIn the Scam Home Warranty business, the people are represented by two separate but equally lazy groups: The Authorization agents, who deny claims and smoke like chimneys, and the technicians who lie through their teeth to snag a few extra bucks. These are their stories CLICK CLICK
(background) quite a lot of parts on an oven/range/cooktop are indeed covered but its the way in which they fail that gives us the denial. We are looking for rust, lack of maintenance and of course not-normal conditions. Most people probably don't know they can take the cover of the stovetop off in the first place, so when a tech does for the first time in years, it looks pretty bad.
The morning air sliced my face in frozen arcs as the DoorDasher from the cheap diner down the road drove into the parking lot, probably wondering where the hell he was in the first place.
He handed me the plastic bag containing my breakfast with a professional smile and drove off as I fumbled my way inside.
Once upstairs at my desk I took the meal out of the bag and opened it.
Three eggs? Check, runny and covered in saltpepperketchup
Bacon? Check, barely cooked and soaking in its own grease
French fries? No, sweet potato fries.
Mustering the biggest sigh I possibly could, I took a fresh plate from my drawer and placed the offending fries on it.
Without hesitation I marched to my boss's desk where he snagged the plate.
There was a rain of hot sauce moments later, the fries were defenseless.
My phone rang soon after, but not before I'd enjoyed some quality time with the bacon and eggs.
Me: “SHW themadkingnqueen here do you have a claim # for me?”
Tech: “Claim #, I'm outside the house in the driveway.”
Me: “What do we have in there?”
Tech: “Kenmore electric range, model #, serial # (and the rest of the questions we ask on every range).”
Me: “(finishes typing diagnostic) what is our failure on the unit today?”
Tech: “There really isn't one it still works.”
Me: “What do you mean?”
Tech: “Family ran the self cleaner for the first time ever and it started smoking up very bad.”
Me: “And?”
Tech: “They've never seen it do that before they freaked out and called you guys.”
Me: “So you taught them how to do it without burning down the house?”
Tech: “No, they figured it out themselves. Two days ago. When they called in the claim.”
Me: “Oh we really don't have techs out there.”
Tech: “You're telling me, I signed up with you guys yesterday and this is my first call.”
Me: “Do you nee

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
