Gamma Ray Detection Units

Gamma Ray Detection Units

The detection unit consists of a scintillation crystal optically coupled to a photomultiplier tube (PMT). The crystal and PMT are mounted into a light-tight housing making a simple plug-in unit. The PMT is shielded from external magnetic field by MU metal shielding.

Scintillation materials:

  • BGO – for high detection efficiency
  • YAP:Ce – for fast or high count rate measurements

Dimensions of detection crystal: Diameter 50.

8 mm x length 50.8 mm
Photomultiplier tube: 2”
High voltage polarity: positive

 

On request, different dimensions or modifications can be designed.
