Radiation Detection Probes: Dual Probe DP6B, HP-210, and HP-260

Vocabulary flashcards covering specifications, shielding, efficiency, and characteristics of Dual Probe DP6B, HP-210, and HP-260 radiation probes.

Dual Probe DP6B

A scintillation probe designed for radiation detection, utilizing a ZnS (Ag)/BC400 detector window for alpha and beta radiation.

Dual Probe DP6B Detector

ZnS (Ag)/BC400 scintillation

Dual Probe DP6B Shielding and Window

Detector window composed of two layers of polycarbonate with a thickness of $3.5\text{ um}$.

Dual Probe DP6B Radiation Detected

Alpha and beta radiation

Dual Probe DP6B Efficiency

Pu-239 (alpha) and Cs-137 (beta) efficiency is $18\text{-}20_\%$.

Dual Probe DP6B Pre-use Inspection

When performing pre-use inspection, turn the unit on and turn the probe toward the light to ensure the integrity of the window.

Dual Probe DP6B Limitations and Characteristics

Due to the thin layer of carbonate covering the scintillation probe, the window can be easily punctured, allowing light to contact the detector surface.

HP-210

A probe model whose detector, radiation detected, efficiency, and limitations/characteristics are the same as Ludlum 44-9, equipped with tungsten shielding.

HP-210 Shielding and Window

Has a tungsten shield covering top and sides. Same as Ludlum 44-9.

HP-260

A probe model whose detector, shielding and window, radiation detected, and efficiency are the same as Ludlum 44-9, featuring aluminum housing and an extended handle.

HP-260 Limitations/Characteristics

Same as Ludlum 44-9; features aluminum housing and extended handle.
