Compton Suppression Shields are scintillation detector assemblies that are mounted around a High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detector to detect the gamma rays scattered by the Ge crystal when a Compton event occurs. Many options are available and careful consideration should be taken when selecting the scintillation crystal(s) and the assembly design. Please download our comprehensive application...

Silicon Photomultiplier Readout (SiPM)

Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) offer an alternative to the traditional readout of scintillators with photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). SiPMs are mechanically compact, can be operated at low voltages, and are impervious to magnetic fields. The energy resolution possible with SiPMs is in some instances comparable to that achieved by PMTs. This value is in practice determined by the type of...
