Thanks to the high-speed BN (Model) 765 pulse generator from Berkeley Nucleonics, we were able to access timescales very rarely accessed in pulsed, voltage-current measurements. With their product and excellent support, we successfully developed and built a new experiment and experimental protocol leading to a…

Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation (BNC), a leading manufacturer of nuclear detection equipment has released a new device, the Topaz-SiPM MCA, a compact digital Multi-Channel Analyzer (MCA) capable of performing Pulse Height Analysis (PHA) of the signal produced by scintillation detectors which incorporate Silicon devices as photomultipliers…
Read articleHigh-resolution scintillation detectors are now offering improved performance with lower intrinsic background. Standard cerium bromide (CeBr3) detectors are now readily available from BNC (up to 3×3 inch encapsulated sizes) with greatly improved sensitivity. This paper discusses the merits of CeBr3 from the standpoint of energy…
