Pulse tube application

Radionuclides Identifier for Gamma Analysis HandSPEC is a
complete spectrometer based on high-purity germanium detector.
Cooling system of HandSPEC consists of special cryostat which
incorporates Stirling-cycle cryocooler with Pulse tube. HandSPEC
is intended for gamma-radiation registration, spectra processing,
radionuclides identification and their activities determination by
various methods.
HandSPEC has internal processor and spectrometric device to
control all spectrometer parameters, perform measurements and
store spectra and analysis results in internal memory. Visualization
of the results and control of spectrometer parameters is made via
built-in touch screen having resolution 800x400 pixels and
diagonal 10.8 cm. Battery status indicator in the right upper corner
of the screen shows time to recharging of the instrument.
Internal processing digital electronics on the basis of 16k channels
MCA and is controlled from touch screen. High voltage supply for
detector and preamplifier power supply are integrated as well as
an internal coarse amplifier and digital filtering and analysis.
