ORTEC pioneered N-type High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors in the 1970s and built its first TETRAD detector consisting of four N-type HPGe detectors during the 1990s. The ORTEC TETRAD detector design delivers maximum absolute efficiency in a limited geometrical space for a wide range of energies (20 keV up to 10 MeV). Today, ORTEC maintains its leadership position in N-type detector manufacturing and is pleased to offer a standard TETRAD detector configuration for use in nuclear physics applications where efficiency and energy resolution must be provided in a limited volume.
- Maximized counting efficiency in a limited geometric space.
- Short shaping time performance and excellent energy resolution.
- Inherently resistive to neutron and proton damage.
- All attitude operation — allows mounting of the detector in multiple
orientations.
- Four preamplifiers with independent bias control.
