RMS30
Flexibility underpins the operation of the RMS30 where sample time, counting period, alarm thresholds (per probe) can be defined by the operator.
The RMS30 can be portable (battery-powered) or mains-powered, bench or wall-mounted, have variable cable lengths for probes and even a remote alarm module to accommodate a multitude of measurement scenarios.
The design philosophy behind the instrument is to allow the operator to use a particular probe type (with single or dual channel measurements), or the flexibility to specify a different detector type. The RMS30 allows the operator to define how the probe data is displayed in real-time (sV/h, CPS or rem/h) and also how the data is then stored in the internal memory. All logged data can be accessed via USB to a PC where information is stored in a simple to manage spreadsheet.

bPAD
The bPAD is an intelligent, compact Single-Channel Analyzer. Unlike traditional designs, this device is fully digitally controlled via USB: no scope or messing with screwdrivers is necessary. A simple PC application allows all the parameters (High Voltage level, amplification factor, discriminator thresholds) to be quickly set. More than that, a pseudo PHA mode is implemented, allowing to acquire an spectrum in order to set the discriminator window from the peak of interest. All the settings are stored in permanent memory, so the device can function in standalone mode every time the power is applied.
The device contains a Preamplifier-Amplifier-Discriminator with TTL digital output. The bPAD also includes its own high voltage power supply for operating standard 14-pin photomultiplier tubes, which are commonly used with scintillator-type radiation detectors (e.g. Plastic, NaI(Tl), LaBr, CeBr, etc).

The MFAx1.3
This extremely versatile digital analyser offers a complete real-time Pulse Shape Discrimination (PSD) solution for scintillation detectors with Multi-Channel Analyser (MCA) Pulse Height Spectra (PHS) analysis. The analyser has applications in coincident and multiplicity counting, security and safeguards, mixed-field assay and imaging.
The system can function with or without a host PC via an Ethernet connection. The PC connection affords the use of the PC-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) where system configuration, auto-calibration and the ability to analyse PSD and PHS data can be performed. When functioning independently (i.e. without a host PC) separate digital TTL outputs are available for analysis using secondary diagnostic instrumentation such as a coincident counter. The neutron and gamma TTL outputs toggle according to the event type, have a high real-time throughput, and are time correlated with the incident event.

Pure Polyethylene Neutron Shielding
JCPEP is a pure, high molecular weight, polyethylene neutron shielding, frequently used as a moderator where it is desired to slow fast neutrons down to thermal energies for experimentation.
In these applications, it is highly desirable to maximise the hydrogen content and minimise any impurities, especially those that might absorb neutrons. We can supply high purity virgin polyethylene for this application in a variety of shapes and sizes.
JCPEP can be readily machined into complex shapes for applications involving neutron instrumentation, reactor physics, activation analysis or isotopic neutron sources. John Caunt Scientific can not only provide custom machining but can also pour JCPEP into custom-made moulds to provide application-specific shielding form.

5% Borated Polyethylene
JCPE5 is a 5% boron loaded polyethylene neutron shield − HMW grade. Specifically developed for neutron shielding purposes in nuclear installations; its optimal boron content of 5% provides excellent attenuation of thermal neutrons, thus reducing the levels of capture-gamma radiation.
JCPE5 has a high hydrogen content, making it an effective fast neutron shield, slowing down fast neutrons to low energy thermal (slow) neutrons, which are then absorbed by the added boron compound.
JCPE5 5% Borated Polyethylene is typically used in neutron shielding applications where low and intermediate-levels of neutron flux are expected, but elevated temperatures are not. JCPE5 is available in a wide range of form factors including slabs, bricks, cylinders, pellets, and other custom shapes.

Self-Extinguishing Borated Polyethylene
Self-Extinguishing Borated Polyethylene is used for neutron shielding applications where flame resistance is necessary or desired for the installation.
Self-extinguishing materials are desirable for use in any location requiring neutron shielding where there is an issue with fire loading and a need to reduce the amount of material contributing to the overall amount of combustible materials. ASTM test D-635 (Flammability of Self-Supporting Plastics) shows JC207HD to be self-extinguishing. ASTM Test D-2863 gives a Limiting Oxygen Index of 30.2. In addition to the fire resistance, JC207HD produces negligible smoke when exposed to flame.

Lithium Polyethylene
Gamma-sensitive radiation detectors used in the vicinity of reactors or other neutron sources must be shielded from capture-gamma rays. These gammas arise from capture of thermal neutrons by surrounding materials or by the detecting crystal itself. Use of borated polyethylene as a shield can attenuate the neutron flux, but the neutrons captured by the boron will result in a 0.42 MeV gamma ray and will therefore not completely eliminate the gamma background.
7.5% Lithium-Polyethylene is very effective in reducing gammas because it produces no capture gammas. Thus, when used to shield a gamma detector from neutrons, it eliminates the usual capture-gamma background. It should be noted that due to its lower capture cross-section, lithium is less effective than boron for capturing thermal neutrons and therefore requires a greater thickness than borated polyethylene.

Borated Flex-Panel
JC227ATH Borated Flexi-Panel is an improved version of the discontinued JC227A.
The standard thickness has been increased to 5/16” (0.31”), which provides the same amount of hydrogen, but improved thermal neutron attenuation and gamma attenuation over the standard thickness JC227A. It has more than twice the thermal neutron stopping power as that typical of 5% borated poly and is used in a wide range of mixed energy neutron shields.
It is effective in a variety of neutron shielding applications including high-energy accelerators (physics research) and neutron test facilities.

Flex-Boron Sheet
JC238 Flex-Boron is a flexible neutron shielding material useful for shielding irregular shapes as well as for being adhered to large straight or curved vertical surfaces. It can be cut to size with a utility knife and bent in a radius as small as 6.4mm (¼”). It can also be custom molded to virtually any configuration; a common application being cylinders with lids for shielding detectors.
JC238 Flexi-Boron has a high boron concentration that provides a thermal neutron attenuation factor greater than X250 for the standard 1/8” (3.2 mm) thickness. It will withstand temperatures of up to 205°C (400°F) without loss of physical or nuclear properties and is self-extinguishing when exposed to flame.
