The University of Bergen Bismuth-Germanium-Oxide (UIB-BGO) detector is an in-situ airborne gamma ray sensor. It consists of three BGO scintillator bars, each connected to photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), and a small LYSO detector to measure high fluxes of gamma rays. UIB-BGO is primarily used to study terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGF) within thunderstorms. The detector has a time resolution of 27 nanoseconds and covers an energy range of 300 keV to about 40 MeV.
