Abstract

A new line of G4S detectors has been developed at Crytur, which combines the high-Z scintillators GAGG:Ce and LuAG:Ce with Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM). The detectors’ performance was established by identifying natural radionuclides in samples of rock and building materials. Due to the high detection efficiency of the chosen scintillator materials, and the small footprint of SiPMs, these detectors are very compact and can be made rugged for applications of gamma-ray detection and spectroscopy in the range of 30 keV to several MeV. Crytur’s material development and coupling design make these detectors a superior and affordable alternative to the conventional NaI:Tl based detectors. Due to the compact size these detectors are portable and suited for both lab and field use
