NaI Detectors

Device type: Scintillation detectors


NaI detectors are probably the most widely used detectors for gamma spectroscopy. They have sufficient resolution, they are available in relatively large crystal sizes, to provide excellent sensitivity at moderate prices. The resolution of the detectors is typically 5.8% - 7% (relative half-width at 662 keV). Characteristically, the smaller size detectors mark a better resolution.



General characteristics of the detectors distributed by GBS Elektronik GmbH

  • The detector contains the crystal, photomultiplier, voltage divider and preamplifier in a housing
  • The detector consists of PMT and crystal in a housing with Jedec connector
  • The cover of the crystal has a wall thickness of 1 mm and is made of aluminum

Connectors

  • SHV for high voltage (typical -600...-1000 V)
  • BNC for preamplifier signal output
  • Sub-D9 for preamplifier power supply (+/-12 V)
  • 3m connection cable available
  • Jedec B14 or Jedec B12

Accessories   

  • Functional Tripod for upright placement of detector
  • Customized lead shielding

Standard Sizes

Special Sizes

  • 100*100mm, with a hole (well-type), for the detection of the lowest activity in samples.
  • 125*70 mm, very sensitive, for spectroscopic portal monitors or terrain measurements.
  • Other sizes and designs are also available upon request.
