CP15 - Pulse Pre-amplifier for Sodium Iodide Scintillation Detectors

The CP15 is a compact and cost-effective pre-amplifier available in two versions. The CP15AF model is designed for use with sodium iodide scintillation detectors. It features built-in filtering matched specifically to photomultiplier-based NaI detectors. The CP15AL model is designed for use with the much faster LaCl3, LaBr3, YAP and plastic scintillation detectors. It features built-in filtering matched specifically to photomultiplier-based La halide detectors.

For energy spectroscopy applications, also consider the CR10. This is a fully-featured pulse amplification and shaping product available with a very wide selection of conversion gain, pulse shaping times and the option for baseline restoration see the CR10.

Pair the CP15 with the C400 high-speed pulse counter which supports up to four preamplifiers in any combination.
