CP10 - Very Fast Pulse Spectroscopy Pre-amplifier

The CP10 is a compact and cost-effective pre-amplifier for use with fast pulse scintillation detectors or general-purpose pulse detectors. The CP10 comes in two major variants, the CP10-A, and CP10-B. CP10-A is optimized for fast halide crystals, LaCl3, LaBr3, and YAP scintillator/photomultipliers. The CP10-B is for Continuous-dynode electron multipliers (CDEM), plastic scintillators, and avalanche photodiodes (APD).

For sodium iodide scintillation see the CP15 pre-amplifier optimized for that detector type.

For a fully-featured pulse amplification, shaping, and baseline restoration see the CR10.

Pair it with the C400 high-speed pulse counter with built-in high voltage biasing for a complete solution.

This product is no longer recommended for new designs. See alternative products bellow or contact Pyramid for more information.
