The GSU gamma spectrometry units employ a 3″x3″ NaI(Tl) crystal coupled to a photosensitive detector (either PMT or SiPM) and an MCA. The detector is installed in a 5 cm thick lead shielding well, with additional inner layers of tin and copper for enhanced background reduction.
GSU is designed to perform gamma spectrometry analyses of small samples, such as foundry casting samples, air particulate filters, environmental samples (rocks, soil, biological samples), positioned in sample holders which can be tailored to meet specific measurement requirements, or Marinelli beakers.
The User can manage the system through the proprietary ELSE NUCLEAR GSU system software, calculating the specific activity and the Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC) of the sample expressed in Bq/kg, Bq/l, Bq/m3, etc. The built-in background subtraction subroutine improves the MDC without increasing the measurement time. The software includes fully-customisable isotope libraries as well as User-settable isotope-specific activity alarm thresholds, available through password-protected functions.
The GSU-NORM is a special version of system specifically conceived to perform Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) analysis of environmental samples, such as rocks, sediments or soils. Through its MCA and its dedicated software, the GSU-NORM system allows determining the specific activity of NORM isotopes, i.e. K-40, Th-232 and U-238, expressed in Bq/g, %K, ppm eU and ppm eTh.
The sample holders are custom-made supports that fit directly on the detector’s head, used to hold casting samples, test sources or other similar objects.
The Marinelli beakers are used to contain geological samples or other similar materials. Several volumes are available, from 250 ml up to 1 l, with different geometrical features.
Each GSU system includes efficiency curves and coefficients implemented in the analysis software, calculated through Monte Carlo simulations for each specific configuration, acquisition chain and measurement geometry. The simulations are always validated through experimental tests performed with reference radioactive sources.
