About
National Physical Laboratory awarded a contract to Ametek GB Limited for the supply of two mechanically cooled n-type high-purity germanium gamma-ray spectrometers with an associated electro-cooling system, valued at £73,504.
The detectors are intended for use in a gamma-gamma coincidence array for activity quantification and nuclear decay data experiments.
The spectrometers are designed to be upgraded with a BGO Compton shield and may operate in a neutron environment, requiring n-type crystals and remotely mounted preamplifiers.
