GCDX HPGe Coaxial Detector with Extended Energy Range

P-type HPGe coaxial detector with a thin contact and a beryllium or carbon fibre input window, extending the energy range down to 3 keV.

The thin contact structure, combined with a beryllium or carbon fibre input window, ensures efficient detection of low-energy photons, while the GCDX still functions as a standard coaxial detector up to 10 MeV. The complete set includes the detector, SHP preamplifier, cryostat, cooling system and cable set.

  • Energy range 3 keV to 10 MeV: functions as a standard coaxial detector and also detects low-energy photons efficiently
  • Beryllium or carbon fibre input window, integrated into the end cap using vacuum-sealed materials
  • Relative efficiency 10 % to 100 %
  • Excellent peak symmetry and high resolution
  • Variety of cryostat geometries, cooled by LN2, Monolith or Nicole
