Scintillator Detectors

Inorganic scintillator detectors are a practical choice for gamma-ray spectroscopy when you want a robust detector that works at room temperature, without the cryogenic cooling an HPGe system requires. CAEN SyS offers assemblies built around several crystal types, including NaI(Tl), CsI(Tl), BGO and CeBr3, so the detector can be matched to the job at hand. These assemblies pair with CAEN SyS multichannel analysers such as Gamma Stream (γstream) or TOPAZ-Pico to form complete, compact spectroscopy systems. Common applications include environmental and field surveys, area monitoring, teaching laboratories, mineral exploration and nuclear medicine checks. Choosing a crystal involves trade-offs between efficiency, resolution, timing, ruggedness and cost, and the best option depends on the isotopes you need to see, your expected count rates and where the detector will be used. Detailed official specifications for each assembly are not yet published on our page, so we recommend a short conversation about your application first.
