Model 450 / 451 Preamplifier Probe Assembly

MODEL 450 PREAMPLIFIER PROBE ASSEMBLY
  • Conversion Gain - 30mv/picocoulomb
  • Noise - 16 x 10-16 coulomb rms
  • Recessed Housing Retains PMT
  • Integral Linearity - 0.1% to +4 or -1V.
MODEL 451 PREAMPLIFIER PROBE ASSEMBLY
  • Conversion Gain - 100mv/picocoulomb
  • Noise - 2 x 10-16 coulomb rms
  • Recessed Housing Retains PMT
  • Integral Linearity - 0.1% to +4 or -1V.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Model 450/451 probe assembly includes the preamplifier assembly used in the Mech-Tronics Model 400/401 respectively and a standard 14 pin photomultiplier base assembly; both contained in a cylindrical probe housing. The housing itself has been designed to mate with the Harshaw 8S8 Series Integral Line Gamma detector assemblies, forming a unified detector-preamplifier combination.
