Scintillation Detector Optimisation for Radiation Detection

Since 1975, JCS has been at the forefront of scintillation detector innovation, championing a collaborative approach to complex measurement challenges.

  • A collaborative approach to radiation detector design ensures that complex measurement challenges are solved with bespoke, fit-for-purpose solutions.

    “Working with our customers to design and provide the right detector lies at the heart of our mission to provide measurement solutions for the specific project.”  Oliver Caunt MD

    Optimised Solutions: Unmatched Performance  

    At JCS, we understand that exceptional detector design lies in collaboration.

    Our belief in customised solutions drives us to select the optimal combination of materials and electronics for your specific needs. We will ensure your detector meets and exceeds your expectations, from your unique measurement requirements to the constraints of your operating environment.

    Key Considerations when optimising a detector or measurement set-up:

     
  • Measurement: Radiation Type, Expected Energy Range, Anticipated count-rate, Acquisition requirements
  • Constraints: Environmental conditions, Experimental/use restrictions, Size restraints, Budgetary targets
  •  Material: Mechanical & optical properties, Resolution, Density & atomic number (Z), Decay time
  • Electronics: PMT type, Plug-on or integrated divider, Connector type, High voltage requirements

    Detector Range

    At JCS we've been supplying radiation detectors for nearly 50 years and, in that time, have built an industry-leading portfolio which ranges from standard & specialist scintillation materials to advanced analytical electronics.

    Recent projects include pulsed-shaped discrimination for specialist assay, beta assay in gamma fields, decommissioning applications, and high-dose spectrometry.

    Our detector materials include:
    Standard Scintillation Crystals
    Liquid Scintillators
    Plastic Organic Detectors
    Novel Detector Materials
    Integrated or Demountable Electronics
    Analytical Electronics & Software
