SP5640 GammaEDU Backpack

The SP5640 GammaEDU Backpack from CAEN is a portable radiation detection kit that takes gamma spectroscopy out of the lab and into the field. It combines a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector with a GammaStream multichannel analyser and offers up to eight hours of operation on battery. Paired with the GammaEDU app, students can map natural radioactivity in real time as they walk around a campus, beach or rock outcrop. It can identify naturally occurring isotopes including 40K, 208Tl, 214Bi, 226Ra, 228Ra, 238U and 232Th, and the dose rate upper limit is 40 mSv/h. The backpack weighs 8.3 kg, measures 22 x 30 x 45 cm and operates from -10 °C to 50 °C at humidity below 95 % non-condensing. Australia's varied geology, including granite and mineral sand regions, makes this an engaging tool for physics, earth science and environmental science teaching.
