Alpha Spectrometry with MCA-PRO

Posted on September 16, 2024September 23, 2024 by maxfomitchev
I have setup an alpha spectroscopy test system using an Ortec Soloist alpha spectrometer (brochure) and an MCA-PRO as follows (Fig. 1): I have installed an Ortec Soloist into a BNC Portanium AP-3 portable NIM crate to provide the +/-12 ... Read More

Canberra / Mirion SA-100 CSP Alpha Probe

Posted on February 10, 2022October 20, 2022 by maxfomitchev
In my next set of experiments I am going to look for alpha-decay acceleration by subjecting a 210Po source to a number of extreme stimuli in hopes to affect the natural rate of radioactive decay. Therefore I decided to compare ... Read More

Observing Natural Alpha Background with Eberline AC-3

Posted on May 1, 2020October 20, 2022 by maxfomitchev
Eberline AC-3 is a common ZnAs(Ag) area scintillator probe similar to Canberra/Mirion SA-100. The probe can be easily used with MCA-LITE and requires about 1000V of bias voltage. I decided to use this ALPHA-LITE system to check alpha-activity of thorium ... Read More
