Gamma Spectrometry Forum

Hi

my name is Fer and I live in Italy.

I started several years ago using GS1100A snr. #0024 and a Scionix 1.5" NaI (Tl) detector.
Software was Intune and PRA 3.4 and with the kind help of Steven I produced some good spectrum of lantern mantel, Cs-137, pechblenda, radon and am-241.
I love hiking in the Alpes and in the past years I collected several samples of soil and mood , unfortunately founding cs-137 in lot of them.
Work and family kept me away from hobbies but now I am back, downloaded PRA 23.0.0.0 connected the old probe and all works fine, made some uranium and cs-137 spectrum, lot easier than searching good pulses with intune ;) New functions are useful as well the calibration is easier. Kudos to Marek.
Now I have a lot to read from other members and learn.
Next project is to build and XRF probe with a Hamamatsu 6095 PMT and a Scionix SBK628 cristal kindly provided from Luuk Timmerman.

regards
Fer

Hi Fer,
Good to see you here on the forum, it has been a long time.

Hi Luuk,

thanks for your your replay.
I am actualy preparing a new probe with an Hamamatsu 6095 and a Scionix CsI(Tl) 22C25 crystal, hope to make a report soon.

Regards
Fer

Hi Fer,

Great to see you back..., I can't believe you have GS-1100A (0024), that was one of the very first boards I made, is it still working? The GS has gone through many versions since then, and I am now up to serial numbers #1290.

Look forward to read more about your experiments.

Hi Steven

nice to read you again, yes GS 1100A is still working fine, soon some spectra with Luuk crystal.
