details the power supply for the radEAGLET-R and the handling of various
battery types.
The appendix comprises
• information about the nuclides the radEAGLET-R can identify (Appendix A, p. 143),
• a glossary of terms and technological background (Appendix B, p.
• a trouble shooting guide (Appendix D, p. 151)
• an info pool (Appendix E, p. 153) with certificates, specification data etc.
Several models of the radEAGLET-R are available (see E.1, p.
which are covered in this document. The few cases where a feature of a certain
model differs from the main stream are marked in the text.
1.5 The radEAGLET-R
The radEAGLET-R is a new generation radio-isotope identification device (RIID). It consists of
the following components:
• Scintillation detector using either a sodium iodide NaI(Tl), a lanthanum bromide
LaBr
(Ce), or a cerium bromide CeBr
3
• Geiger-Müller detector
Neutron detector
• Multi-Channel Analyzer (MCA) for spectral data readout of the scintillation detector
• Computational subsystem that includes LCD screen, keyboard, status LEDs, vibrator
and speaker
GPS Receiver
1.5.1 Detectors
Each component has a dedicated purpose. The scintillator is the primary detector of the
instrument and would be used for multiple purposes including pulse height analysis and dose
rates.
1.5.1.1 Scintillation Detector
The scintillation detector is used to collect the pulse height spectrum of the gamma photons
that interact with the scintillation crystal. The different radioisotopes each have specific
decay schemes and some emit gamma photons that can be analyzed and used to determine
the radiation source. ( Scintillation Detector)
