R Series Ruggedized Partially Depleted Silicon Radiation Detector

Main Application
Charged-particle spectroscopy in vacuum or in air with ambient light; cleanable.

  • Literature +

  • Mounting Arrangements +


    Mount must be specified when ordering.

    A      This is a "ring mount"; i.e., the silicon wafer is offered on its ring without output connectors. 

    B  Microdot connector on the rear of the can.

    C  BNC connector on the rear of the can.

    T  Microdot on the side of the can; without adjustable screws.

    Dimensions are given in millimeters.

    §Built into a Microdot connector only.

  • Ordering Information +


    Mount must be specified when ordering.

    Supplied with B Mount unless otherwise specified.

    *Supplied in B Mount unless specified otherwise by the appropriate letter prefix. Other areas, depths, and configurations available on special order.

    **First three digits of Model No. indicate total system resolution FWHM for 241AM, 5.486-MeV alphas, using standard ORTEC electronics and 0.5-µs shaping time constants. Beta resolution approximated by pulse generator width FWHM.

    NOTE: Alpha Suite Compatible Detectors: ULTRA-AS and Low-Background R Series detectors in B-mount are guaranteed compatible with the Alpha Suite products (DUO, MEGA, ARIA, ENSEMBLE).  All other detectors require an approved special for compatibility and warranted specifications.
