August 2nd, 2019 – SAM 950 RIID Remote Operations

The SAM 950 is the culmination of almost 20 years in Radioisotope Identification. The advanced system is built on a cellular platform allowing for a host of modern features to complement health physics and isotope identification requirements. While the internal spectroscopy uses unique wavelet technology…

March 12th, 2019 – Radiopure SrL2(Eu) Scintillators

SrI2(Eu), Europium Doped Strontium Iodide is a very bright, relatively slow scintillator with very good proportionality. Typical energy resolutions are 3.5% @ 662 keV and 6% @ 122 keV. The material is quite radiopure. Due to its intrinsic self-absorption (small stokes shift), the crystal requires some…

March 12th, 2019 – What is an Organic Scintillator?

Organic Scintillators (also called “plastic scintillators”) consist of a transparent host material (a plastic) doped with a scintillating organic molecule (e.g. POPOP : pbis [2(5phenyloxazolyl)] benzene). Radiation is absorbed by the host material, mostly via Compton effect because of the low density and Z value…
