Nuclear Spectroscopy
Germanium Detectors
P-type coaxial
The most popular germanium detector geometry. These detectors are used in environmental counting at power plants, commercial and government laboratories and in several industrial applications and have a broad energy response range.
N-type coaxial
The ultra-thin external dead layer extends the usable energy range of these detectors to below 5 KeV. N-types are more resilient to particle damage and are the detector of choice for in situ applications where neutrons may be present.
Well Detectors
These detectors can be used as high efficiency counters for low activity samples as well as typical P-type coaxial style counting. PGT well detectors utilize hole-thru design and a variety of low background cryostat options that allow for premium low energy performance.
Planar and Semi-Planar Detectors
Planars utilize P-type crystals for lower energy gamma and X-ray spectroscopy. Semi-Planars vary from 200 mm2 area to 3800mm2 area and are made from N-type crystals. Semi-Planars are used in a variety of applications including Pb-210 studies and in-vivo lung monitoring.
Cryostat Options
PGT nuclear detectors are available in a variety of cryostat options. Vertical dipstick, low background configurations and materials and the largest variety of portable configurations are available.
Si(Li), IGX X-ray and Sahara silicon drift detectors are used in X-ray research and industrial applications.
