A compact device for gamma ray pulse detection

  • 1. Defence Laboratory, Jodhpur (India)

Description

A semiconductor based compact device, 'Gamma Flash Sensor' has been developed for detection of pulse gamma ray of the intensities of the order of 4 R/s. The semiconductor sensing element is used in photovoltaic mode to produce a voltage proportional to the intensities of pulsed gamma rays. The signal after processing and threshold comparison produces an output activation signal when the gamma dose rate exceeds 4 R/s. This compact device has application for the automatic activation of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) protection system in Defence vehicles and underground NBC shelters. (author)
