First Responders
Gamma and neutron detectors are used in Radio-Isotope Identification Detection (RIID) systems such as handheld, backpack and personal radiation detectors. For gamma detection sodium iodide [NaI(Tl)] detectors are the standard solution used for isotope identification while LaBr based solutions provide enhanced spectroscopic performance. CLLB is perfectly suited for applications that require dual Gamma / Neutron detection.
Typical configurations include packaged detector and fully integrated solutions including the light sensor, electronics and MCA.

Border Inspection
Passive portal monitors use large sheets of plastic scintillators to detect gamma emitters. Large square or rectangular NaI(Tl) detectors can be used when the portal requires spectroscopic performance. Saint-Gobain NeuPort and NeuTruckTM solutions provide a cost effective plug-and-play replacement to He-3 for portal and vehicle mounted monitors. Active systems can use pixelated arrays made of CsI(Tl), CdWO4 or LYSO to image cargo and vehicles for potential illicit material.
Typical configurations include packaged detector and fully integrated solutions including the light sensor, electronics and MCA.

Baggage Scanners
Baggage Scanners use a combination of X-Rays shooting onto crystalline arrays to create an internal image. Linear and two-dimensional pixelated arrays are the standard used to image baggage for illicit material. Arrays are available from large to sub-millimeter pixels in a variety of materials with or without readout devices attached. Arrays can be configured with or without the photodiode already attached.
Designs are tailored to fit the customer’s dimensional and operating characteristics.
