Providing the sensitive response needed for the monitoring of gamma contamination, the Radhound Mini addresses the common pitfalls of traditional monitors such as excessive weight, cost, and fragility.
Available in two models, including a floor monitor, the Radhound Mini is a lightweight solution with an ergonomic design for single-handed contamination monitoring.
Simply point and aim.
Introducing SiPM detectors
The Radhound Mini features an integrated NaI(Tl) Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) detector. SiPMs are solid-state devices making them resistant to shock and vibrations that may occur because of extensive handling by users. They are commonly used in radiation detection and medical imaging systems.
Reduced size
Each detector has thousands of micron-sized avalanche photodiodes (APD) arranged in a bespoke array for optimal optical coupling with the Radhound Mini’s scintillation crystal. This reduces the monitor’s size and weight while maintaining counting efficiency.
