GCD HPGe Coaxial Detector

P-type HPGe coaxial detector for high-resolution gamma spectroscopy, with relative efficiency from 10 % to 160 %.

High purity germanium detectors deliver outstanding energy resolution for precise gamma-ray spectroscopy, in applications such as nuclear research, environmental monitoring, homeland security and medical diagnostics. The model name gives efficiency and resolution: the GCD-30185 has 30 % relative efficiency and 1.85 keV resolution at 1.33 MeV.

  • Relative efficiency 10 % to 160 % and energy range 40 keV to 10 MeV
  • High resolution and symmetric peaks
  • State-of-Health Preamplifier SHP by default
  • HV shutdown protection and high count rate LED
  • Variety of cryostat geometries, cooled by LN2, Monolith or Nicole
