GWD HPGe Well-type Detector

Well-type HPGe detector for small samples, measuring in almost 4π geometry with better efficiency than regular coaxial HPGe detectors.

The GWD is used for detection of gamma rays in nuclear energy and environmental control, industry, scientific research and nuclear medicine, when the user is dealing with a small amount of sample and wants better efficiency than with regular coaxial HPGe detectors.

  • Almost 4π geometry measurement for small amounts of sample
  • Thin dead layer to provide excellent efficiency
  • Relative efficiency 15 % to 70 % and higher
  • Energy range 20 keV to 10 MeV
  • High energy rate up to 200000 MeV/s
