Radiation Sensor BG51
- Nuclear Beta and Gamma Radiation Sensor
- Ultra Low Power Requirement
Description The function of the BG51 radiation sensor is based on an array of customized PIN diodes. The integrated pulse discriminator with a temperature compensated threshold level provides true TTL signal output. The BG51 is capable of detecting beta radiation (electrons), gamma radiation (photons) and X-rays. The performance of the BG51 solid state sensor, in combinati -on with high immunity to electrostatic fields make it a good choice for new state-of-the-art designs as well as for upgrading existing designs. Features and Benefits · Detects beta and gamma radiation and X-rays · New: Ultra low power requirement (25μA) · Detector sensitivity: 5 cpm/μSv/h · High immunity to RF and electrostatic fields · Linear response over wide temperature range (-30°C to 50°C) · Swiss made Application Areas · Equipment for detecting radioactivity in medical environment · Radiation monitors for nuclear safeguards and security · Gamma detector to detect illicit nuclear material · Natural sciences courses and practical lab experiments
