Alpha spectrometer

Product introduction

Alpha spectroscopy identifies and quantifies radionuclides based on the alpha particles emitted during decay. Similar to gamma spectroscopy, spectroscopy consists of high-precision detectors and electronics, and is analyzed using special software. In many gamma spectrometry measurements, the complexity of these interferences is corrected by spectrum analysis software. Samples are usually measured after chemical separation to isolate the radionuclides of interest.

Alpha Aria

A single alpha spectrum channel in a 2 wide NIM chassis. A digital MCA is built in, so just connect the USB port and start counting. An easy-to-operate PUMP/HOLD/VENT (Pump/Hold/Vent) control is mounted on the front panel. Alpha Aria is easily added to existing NIM equipment.

Alpha Duo (dual channel)

Benchtop dual alpha spectrometer with two alpha spectrum channels. Each unit includes a vacuum measuring device 100% computer controlled, a variable detector bias supply (switchable positive or negative), a preamplifier, a test pulse generator with variable amplitude and a leakage current monitor. Alpha Duo has a dedicated independent MCA to optimize processing time.

Alpha Mega (Large)

Benchtop single alpha spectrometer with sample compartment for filters up to 4.18 inches (106 mm) in diameter. It is based on the Alpha Duo, but is able to take larger samples and use large diameter detectors, has all the same quality characteristics as the Alpha Duo, and is fully computer controlled. The Alpha Mega is available in a desktop version, but is also available as an option for the Alpha Ensemble (combo) enclosure.

Alpha Ensemble (Combined)

• Modular alpha spectroscopy system, configurable with up to 4 modules, ALPHA-DUO-M1 and/or ALPHA-MEGA-M1 expansion modules can be combined in any combination. Each alpha spectroscopy module includes a vacuum gauge, variable detector bias supply (switchable positive or negative), preamplifier, test pulse generator with variable amplitude, self-controlled RCAP and leakage current monitor.

• Each expansion module has a separate vacuum control in the Alpha Ensemble configuration. The Alpha Ensemble (combo) can be rack mounted or placed in the included benchtop enclosure. In the Alpha Ensemble (combo) configuration, the internal USB hub connects to the user's PC via a single cable. each exploration

Each measurement system has independent digital offset and conversion gain settings for maximum flexibility.
