Gamma Counting

Analysis and counting of gamma-emitting radionuclides is a service provided through the Centre for Neutron Activation Analysis (CNAA) using HPGe detectors

Nuclear Operations & Facilities houses a wide variety of high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors used to measure gamma radiation emitted by radionuclides. These detectors can be used in conjunction with the various neutron activation analyses or as a stand-alone service.

For more information about HPGe detectors or gamma counting services, please contact reactor@mcmaster.ca
