Detector XTRA

Gamma Spectrometry Detector XTRA

Germanium detector Canberra, model GX4020

Relative efficiency: 37 %

It has an active shielding made with an organic scintillation detector (Bicron BC-418) that works in anti-coincident mode with the Ge detector resulting in very low background level.
