Gamma-Ray Emission from Novae Related to Positron Annihilation: Constraints on its Observability Posed by New Experimental Nuclear Data
{{output}}
Classical novae emit gamma-ray radiation at 511 keV and below (with a cutoff at around 20-30 keV), related to positron annihilation and its Comptonization in the expanding envelope. This emission has been elusive up to now because it occurs at epochs well befo... ...
