The API has vast
experience with many types of gamma ray detectors. We have worked
extensively with
- Bismuth germanate (BGO)
- Cesium Iodide (CsI)
- Gadolinium Orthosilicate (GSO)
- High purity Germanium (HPGe)
- Sodium Iodide (NaI)
in a
wide variety of sizes (1x1,1x4, 2x2, 3x3, 5x5, and 5x3) and shapes:
cylindrical, rectangular, cubical and U-shaped: see
Veto detector).
Currently, we are studying behavior of the high resolution Lanthanum halide scintillators in mixed radiation fields under simultaneous gamma- and neutron irradiation. We use neutron steady-state and pulsed neutron sources with energy up to 14.1 MeV.
Photo-multiplier tubes and avalanche photo diodes are also the area of our interest.
At the API, we utilize the best detector for the particular application. We have experience in detector design and testing. We have a large stock of gamma ray sources for quality control.
