Lowest-Energy γ- & x-ray Spectrometer

with small highest resolution, planar HPGe & SiLi detectors in low-background mounting, special lead & Cu shields as well as Rn-suppression.

Application for nuclear sample mesurements

  • Ultra low-energy in vitro γ-spectrometers (ULE) are designed for the direct assessment of low energy gamma- & x-ray sources.

  • The concept and performance of our ULE spectrometers are designed for lowest limit of detection in the low energy region.

  • The systems offers a way to estimate isotopics for cases in which the element is almost entirely composed of two isotopes, using Isotopic software packages for uranium and Plutonium.

TIME IS MONEY!

As an example of minimum detectable activity (MDA), the CTBTO laboratory criterion of 24 mBq Ba-140 (in 7 days measuring time) will be achieved with our design of ULB gamma -spectrometer systems installed on ground level laboratories in approximate 1.5 days (black line and dots).
