Packaged Scintillators

A Basic Packaged Assembly consists of a scintillator encased in a low-mass metal container with an optical window.  Reflector material is placed between the scintillator and the container walls to maximize light detection. A wide variety of shapes (including rectangular) and sizes can be produced. These detectors require user-supplied, externally-coupled photomultiplier tubes.

 

 

Other options available:

  • End-well and through-well geometries
  • Low background stainless steel or copper containers
  • Thin aluminum or beryllium radiation entrance windows
  • Special flanges, O-rings, mounting fixtures or other modifications
  • Ruggedized and high temperature
  • Assemblies using thin scintillator for low-energy gamma and X-ray detection
  • Gain stabilization
  • Reliable, hermetically sealed detector assembly
  • Thin aluminum housing (up to 0.20" thick) with durable, chemically stabilized coating
  • special Bicron K+ window enhances light output
  • Stable reflector system
  • Scintillator areas not viewed by PMTs are covered with a reflector for optimum light collection
