Alpha Spectrometer System

PAS 01
Model PAS-01 Para Alpha Spectrometer System is a versatile indigenously developed single channel alpha spectrometer system for measuring low activity samples that decay by Alpha-particle emission. Model PAS-01 is an integrated spectrometer in 3 width standard NIM module and includes Surface Barrier Detector or passivated ion-implanted silicon detector (active area 450 mm2), charge sensitive preamplifier, spectroscopy amplifier, detector bias supply and 1024 channel MCA with USB interface to standard PC or laptop. Alpha spectroscopy software for Pulse Height Analysis (Energy Calibration, ROI selection, Area Calculation, peak information, FWHM, FWTM calculations, data Storage and report generation, etc.) is provided along with the system. Model PAS-01 is supplied with mains operated 6 width Standard NIM BIN with low ripple Power Supply, 100 LPM Acmevac vacuum pump, digital vacuum gauge and other accessories. The front panel control PUMP, HOLD, VENT makes it easy to insert, analyze and remove samples.
