ELSE Nuclear BSS Bonner Sphere Spectrometer Overview
Features:
- He-3 Proportional Counter Detector
- HDPE Spherical Moderators From ⌀ 3" to ⌀ 18"
- Precision Wide-Band Charge-Sensitive Pre-Amplifier and Amplifier
- Discriminator Circuit
- High Voltage Adjustment From 0 to 2200 V
- Amplifier Gain and Discriminator Threshold Adjustment
The ELSE Nuclear BSS is proposed in two main configurations, adjustable according to the requirements, for single or multiple detectors.
An unfolding software (RUFUS), used to calculate the neutron spectrum, is also manufactured for both configurations.
Each proportional counter is connected to a compact electronic module (2.5 cm diam. x 7.6 cm), providing:
• Precision wide-band charge-sensitive pre-amplifier and amplifier
• Discriminator circuit
• High voltage adjustment 0-2200 V
• Amplifier gain and discriminator threshold adjustment
• Analogue test points for shaped signals and HV
A user-friendly dedicated acquisition software can be installed on the PC managing the BSS, allowing the user to start and stop the measurements, to modify the parameters and to visualize the saved data. The BSS standard set, designed to cover the neutron energy range from 1 meV to < 100 MeV, includes the following HDPE moderators: ⌀ 3", ⌀ 3.5", ⌀ 4", ⌀ 4.5", ⌀ 5", ⌀ 6", ⌀ 7", ⌀ 8", ⌀ 10", ⌀ 12", ⌀ 15", ⌀ 18".
The ELSE Nuclear BSS Bonner Sphere Spectrometer may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
