Gamma Coincidence

Measurement of coincident gamma rays using two spectrometers

Coincidence Measurements

Our dual parameter MCA is capable of interpreting the shaper outputs from GammaSpec1K units in order to make a modular coincidence setup.

Main Features of the GammaSpec coincidence unit

2 MeV full scale range for each spectrometer

Dual MCA with 0-3.3V shaper inputs

500nS coincidence window. Configurable via software

<80keV FWHM @ 1332KeV centroid from 60Co

Additional 1024 bin MCA integrated in each spectrometer.

Fully USB powered units

Fully featured Python software supplied open-source.

The gammaspec is a highly compact portable spectrometer which is fully USB Powered.

Experiments

Spectrum from 22-Na

Positron annihilation spectrum from 22-Sodium

Positrons emitted from the decay of 22-Na annihilate and give rise to 511keV which move in opposite directions. When the spectrometers are placed linearly, these can be detected as coincident events, and used to filter out the 1275keV photons emitted by the daughter Ne.
