Description
By full control of the following processes, Photonis Nuclear Instrumentation can supply custom gamma ionization chambers with the highest quality and reliability levels
- Adaptation of industrialized gamma ionization chambers to customer specific requirements.
- Development of new gamma ionization chambers with our experienced R&D team.
- Long term collaboration with the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission / CEA (theoretical approach, - modeling, qualification tests in research reactors).
- Complete manufacturing process on site.
- Support from all the Photonis Group activities, experience and knowledge.
- Certifications & Quality Assurance programs adapted to the customer environment.
- Technical support, applying expertise
Examples of custom versions from basic types
Gamma sensitivity tailored to individual requirement
Connector type (BNC, BNC HT, HN, SMA or others)
- Adapted external dimensions and mechanical interfaces
- Ruggedized structure for harsh environment (radiation, temperature, humidity, mechanical stress)
Main features
- Structure: One coaxial mineral insulated cable connected to the detector.
- Electrodes: The two electrodes consist of a concentric stainless steel tube assembly.
- Filling gas: The gas type and pressure depend on the required sensitivity. Standard gases are nitrogen or xenon.
- Insulators: As it is necessary to measure extremely low currents, insulators must be of very high quality and radiation resistant. Photonis only uses high-grade alumina insulators from qualified suppliers.
