A portable detection backpack for revealing the presence of radioactive materials in the environment. The high efficiency of the scintillation crystal allows to perform a measurement in few minutes. GammaEDU can identify industrial, medical and naturally occurring radioactive isotopes in static and dynamic acquisition.

With the GammaEDU Android application the students can acquire and analyze in real time a g-ray spectrum to get the K, U and Th abundances, keep note of the surrounding environment, take the GPS coordinates and shoot a picture of the on-going measurement. The data are saved in a kmz file ready to be visualized on Google Earth and shared on Google Drive for producing a radioactivity map of the area.

What’s inside

• CAEN Gamma stream is a compact and portable system for gamma ray spectroscopy with scintillation detectors, which provides an active Multi-Channel Analyzer (MCA) integrated in a 14-pin photo-multiplier tube (PMT) base. Gamma stream fully integrates in a stand-alone device the high voltage to bias the PMT, the preamplifier to shape the signal from detector, and the MCA for a complete Pulse Height Analysis online. Gamma stream makes easy the measurements with scintillation detectors NaI(Tl) [0.3l] with no need of additional cables.

• The measurement can be run with a tablet in just one click!
  The backpack includes a Tablet 10″ through which a series of outdoor measurements can be performed. With the GammaEDU Android application the user can acquire and analyse in real time a γ-ray spectrum to get the K, U and Th abundances, keep track of the surrounding environment, take the GPS coordinates and shoot a picture of the on-going measurements. The data are saved in a .kmz file ready to be visualized on Google Earth and shared for producing a radioactivity map of the area.
