| It has been tested to work properly in magnetic fields up to 3 T. For comparison, conventional devices fail to operate at intensities as low as 0.1 T.
Light and compact, B-RAD is ideal for radiation surveys and for local measurements of contamination or residual radioactivity in hot spots. The built-in software and algorithm allow performing accurate gamma spectrometry and dose rate measurement with a single instrument. B-RAD employs a high sensitivity LaBr3(Ce3+) crystal directly coupled to a Silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) matrix. | Its excellent scintillation properties, high energy resolution (3.3% FWHM at 662 keV) and fast response, together with the built-in pile-up and dead-time correction algorithms, allow the device to cover an extremely wide dose rate range (100 nSv/h to > 20 mSv/h).
This technology has been originally developed at CERN and has become the standard for radiation surveys in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. It is commercialized under an official license granted by CERN, with the “CERN Technology” label. |
