Nuclear Instrumentation for Radiation Detection and Analysis

Accurate detection and analysis of ionizing radiation require sophisticated instrumentation. Radiation interactions with detectors produce faint electrical signals that necessitate amplification and processing for scientific interpretation. Furthermore, radiation detectors often require a stable high voltage (HV) power supply for optimal performance. Nuclear instrumentation provides the means to transform these signals into usable data.

Signal Processing Techniques

  • Signal Conditioning: Analog preamplifiers are used to amplify and shape the initial detector signal.
  • Signal Processing: The conditioned signal is processed using digital, analog, or hybrid techniques, depending on the application.
