February 27th, 2019 - BNC Releases the New Generation Scintillator: SiPM Detectors
BNC announces the latest in Scintillation Detectors, the SiPM Detector.
Berkeley Nucleonics is thrilled to announce its latest alternative to the traditional readout of scintillators with photomultiplier tubes: Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs). They are mechanically compact, require low voltage operation, and are insensitive to magnetic fields.
In practice, SiPM detectors behave differently than photomultiplier tubes in the areas of spectroscopic response and signal processing. The number of SiPMs needed on a scintillation crystal depends on the requirements of the application. With a specific number of SiPMs per scintillation crystal, the energy resolution and noise can be managed with the desired temperature range.
In many instances, coverage of only part of the scintillator surface area is enough to achieve the desired performance. SiPMs are available with a proprietary bias generator and preamplifier module that has been designed to internally correct the gain drift that results from temperature variations. These modules operate at voltages between 5.2 - 16 V and consume less than 30 mW.
