Alpha spectroscopy for radiochemistry applications - Series A
The A-series is optimized for high-resolution, high sensitivity, and low-background alpha spectroscopy.
The thin dead layer of the PIPS detector provides enhanced resolution with the close detector-source spacing needed for high efficiency.
The background count rate for A-series PIPS detectors is typically less than 0.05 counts/hr/cm² in the energy range of 3 to 8 MeV.
Alpha PIPS detectors have a minimum active thickness of greater than 140 μm which is sufficient for full absorption of alpha particles of up to 15 MeV.
A-Series: 300 to 1200mm² with minimum 140µm active thickness

Resolution is approximated for 241Am, 5.486 MeV alphas, using standard CANBERRA electronics and 0.5 μs shaping time constant. Electronic resolution is approximated by pulser line width (FWHM) or RMS voltmeter.
