AGRS.

Advanced Gamma-Ray Spectrometer

Advanced Gamma-Ray Spectrometer is an intelligent, self-calibrating spectrometry system using large volume NaI(Tl) detector arrays. AGRS is designed for wide use in geological and geophysical exploration and mapping as well as in environmental monitoring, radiation protection, and nuclear surveillance. The AGRS performs a self-calibration, which eliminates the need for undertaking daily calibrations using radioactive sources. Featuring each individual detector processing, an AGRS unit can contain 2, 4 or 5 detectors of large volume 4L each. The AGRS unit can be used as a stand-alone unit with simple USB-flash drive data transfer, chained up with other AGRS units to maximize effective detection surface and volume efficiency, or integrated with a data-acquisition system to full system equipped with additional sensors. For stand-alone functioning, the AGRS unit will require only power supply and GPS data.

Benefits.

  • Fully automated Self-Calibration routine
  • No Calibration Sources required
  • Large detector volumes with high efficiencies for low level
  • Stand- Alone Operation with internal data recording
