Re: SrI2(Eu) detectors

Rob, My previous response to say "Thank You" must have gotten lost in the ether, so I try again: Thank you for the files, they are very helpful. Those are nice spectra. I have the same detector and my initial testing has made it clear that for the low activity samples requiring long runs, ...

Re: SrI2(Eu) detectors

Rob, If you have the time and inclination, could you post a few of the spectrum.csv files that you have saved in CapeSym MCA? I'd like to import a spectrum into their software so I can try it out with real data. I don't have their MCA so I can't generate my own spectrum and I don't know the particul...

Re: Gamma Spectrum DB

I checked it out and it looks like a cool idea which I strongly support. Please take my comments as an enthusiastic wish list. I'd like to have the option of showing it in a larger window/frame/whatever so I can see more detail without scrolling around and zooming. I can't figure out how to get the ...

Re: CapeSym CSI-14x25c-SIPM-T and GS-USB-PRO

Steven,

I have one of these on order now (in SrI flavor), so I'm doubly interested in your progress. I'm going to try it first with the GS-USB-Pro as the A-D input device but use a separate power supply (or 9V battery stack).

Re: SrI2(Eu) detectors

I ordered a 14x14x25mm SrI2(Eu) detector yesterday. They were testing it today. Hopefully I'll have it by the weekend. Thanks again for the info.

Re: SrI2(Eu) detectors

Rob, Thank you for all the information you have provided in this thread, I hope you don't mind answering a few more questions. I'm pretty much sold on the CapeScint SrI2(Eu) detector setup, but before I pull the trigger I wanted to see if you (or anyone else with these detectors) had any updated opi...

Re: CapeSym CSI-14x25c-SIPM-T and GS-USB-PRO

Funny, I was just looking at these, so I'm glad you can share your experiences. Some questions that come to mind if you find any real-world answers: - I'm wondering what advantage a SiPM has over a PMT in a hobby lab application. I suppose the small size would allow for a smaller shield. - I'd be in...
