Instruments Used In Spectroscopy System
1. Liquid Scintillator NE-213
The NE-213 is an organic liquid scintillator detector with excellent efficiency and quality for neutron-gamma separation and is well known and used in neutron-gamma separation experiments. This detector is currently being manufactured at different sizes and with suitable PMTs for the bias.
2. BIN Power Supply Model 8000
The 8000 power supply is a 19 inch rack with a power supply of 160 watts, and all of its connectors have the standard voltage of a NIM bin.
Specifications
- Input: 220 or 115 Vac

- Power supply
3. High Voltage Power Supply Model 8100
The IAP 8100 high voltage power supply is used for biasing various detectors.
Specifications
- Output polarity: Positive or negative
- Output voltage: 0 to 3 KV
- Output current: 0- 10 mA
- Output ripple: < 10 mV

4. Delay Line Amplifier (DLA)
DLA is intended for energy and time spectroscopy with scintillation detectors. Its delay-line shaped output signal is particularly suitable for timing and high-counting rate applications. This output signal offers a more rapid baseline recovery than is possible with Semi-Gaussian shaping amplifiers.
Specifications
- Gain range: from 10 to 1000
- Shaping filter: front-panel switch permits selection of integration time constant with 0.04, 0.1 or 0.25 μs
- Integral nonlinear: less than ± 0.05%
- Temperature ability: gain ≤ ± 0.01% / ° C, 0 to 50 ° C and DC level ≤ ± 0.1 mV / ° C, 0 to 50 ° C
5. Time to Amplitude Converter (TAC)
The Time to Amplitude Converter (TAC) measures the time interval between pulses to its start and stop inputs and generates an analog output pulse proportional to the measured time. Timing experiments requiring time ranges from 10 ns to 2 ms may be performed, giving the experimenter flexibility in analyzing random nuclear events that occur within a selected time range. This device measures time ranges from 50 ns to 2 ms .
Specifications
Time Resolution: FWHM ≤ 01%
- Temperature Instability: ≤±0.02%/°C (±100 ppm/°C).
- Differential Nonlinearity: ≤±1% from 10 ns or 2% of full scale (whichever is greater) to 100% of full scale.
- Integral Nonlinearity: ≤±0.1% from 10 ns or 2%
- Reset Cycle: Fixed 1.0 µs for X1 and X10 multipliers, fixed 5 µs for X100 Multiplier, and fixed 50 µs for X1K, and X10K Multipliers. Occurs after Over Range, Strobe cycle, or Ext Strobe Reset cycle.
6. Constant Fraction Discriminator(CFD)
A constant fraction discriminator (CFD) allows good time resolution to be obtained from all detectors.
Specifications
- Count rate: 100 MHz
- Dynamic range: 1- 1000
- Five modes of operation
- Two negative outputs and two positive outputs, simultaneously
- Multi-color counting rate display
- dc collapse
7. Multichannel Analyzer (MCA) Model 4110
The IAP model 4110 MCA is a high resolution Wilkinson type multichannel analyzer. The 4110 is a single NIM mode that is specifically designed for use in nuclear and x-ray spectroscopy and connects via a USB port to PC. Also, MCA is fully supported by DAS software.
