Learn more about gamma rays detector

Gamma ionization chambers, a type of gamma detector, play a pivotal role in the nuclear industry, particularly in the detection and measurement of area gamma radiation in diverse fields such as radiation monitoring, fuel re-processing, and research activities globally. Gamma ion chambers measure gamma radiation by detecting high energy photons emitted from a radioactive source. These instruments provide valuable data for various applications by measuring its intensity. Based on principles of gamma interaction with matter, gamma detectors convert gamma rays into detectable signals, enabling the determination of radiation levels with high precision.

The efficiency of these detectors is influenced by various factors, including gamma quanta energy, cathode material composition and thickness, as well as the type and pressure of the filling gas. Consequently, detector sensitivity is intricately tied to its design, making it essential for achieving accurate measurements across different energy ranges. Notably, the photoelectric effect dominates electron creation at lower energies, with peak sensitivity typically observed at around 80 keV, while higher energy gamma rays may result in reduced sensitivity proportional to their energy.
