γstream

Gamma Stream (γstream) from CAEN SyS is an active multichannel analyser built into a 14 pin photomultiplier tube base. By integrating the high voltage supply, preamplifier, battery and wireless connectivity into the tube base, it turns a scintillation detector into a self-contained, portable gamma spectrometer. It offers 2k channels, with HV from 0 to +1500 V at up to 500 µA. The ADC is 12 bit at 62.5 MHz, and operating modes include PHA, List mode and Signal Inspector. Interfaces cover USB 2.0, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It suits scintillation detectors on 14 pin 10 stage PMTs (S2580) or 14 pin 8 stage (S2580LB). The unit measures 71.2 x 66.4 x 163.8 mm and weighs 700 g. Battery life is about six hours with HV and acquisition running in continuous list mode. It is the MCA inside the GammaEDU Backpack, and it is used in field surveys, mobile monitoring and teaching. ProDigitek can supply γstream with a matched scintillator. Drop us an email for a quote.
