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
