TETRAD N-type High Purity Germanium (HPGe) Detector for Nuclear Physics Applications

Category: Characterization > Monitors > Inorganic Matter Detectors
Reference # : Model No :

The ORTEC TETRAD detector is engineered to provide exceptional absolute efficiency within constrained geometric spaces, making it ideal for a broad energy range from 20 keV to 10 MeV. Designed for demanding nuclear physics applications, the standard TETRAD configuration delivers high counting efficiency and outstanding energy resolution in compact volumes. Key features include short shaping time performance, inherent resistance to neutron and proton damage, and versatile all-attitude operation, enabling the detector to be mounted in various orientations. Additionally, it incorporates four preamplifiers with independent bias control, offering enhanced flexibility and performance.

Benefits

- High absolute efficiency in a compact geometrical space - Wide energy range coverage (20 keV to 10 MeV) - Excellent energy resolution with short shaping time performance - Flexible mounting with all-attitude operation for various orientations - Independent control with four preamplifiers and individual bias settings - Optimized for nuclear physics applications where space and performance are critical

Limitations

- Specialized design may require custom integration into existing systems - Limited geometric space may restrict some experimental configurations or scalability - May not be ideal for non-nuclear or lower-energy applications outside its optimized range
