Model 44-2 Gamma Scintillator

Ludlum Measurements, Inc. Page 1 February 2018

Introduction

The Model 44-2 sodium iodide (NaI) gamma scintillator is

primarily used for detecting low levels of gamma radiation in

the range of 20 keV–1.5 MeV. It consists of a 2.54 x 2.54 cm (1

x 1 in.) (Dia. X thickness) NaI crystal coupled to a

photomultiplier tube and is housed in a 0.157 cm (0.062 in.)

thick aluminum housing. The front entrance window has a total

thickness of 2.3 mm (0.09 in.) of aluminum. The detector is

energy dependent, over-responding by a factor of 10 or greater

in the 100keV range and under-responding by a factor of 0.5

above 1 MeV when normalized to 137Cs.

The Model 44-2 will operate with any Ludlum instruments or

equivalent instruments that provide 500–1200 volts. The

recommended instrument input sensitivity is approximately 10

mV or higher.

Some common applications for this detector include

background radiation monitoring, low-level radiation detection,

and spectrum analysis when used in conjunction with a single-

or multi-channel analyzer.

Model 44-2

Note:

The detector does not contain any consumable materials.

Note:

If the detector is used in a manner not intended by the

manufacturer, the detector may not function properly.

Unpacking and Repacking

Remove the calibration certificate or detector functional check

certificate and place it in a secure location. Remove the

detector(s) and accessories (if applicable) and ensure that all

items listed on the packing list are in the carton. If multiple

detectors are included, refer to the calibration certificates for

serial number (SN) matches.

To return an instrument or detector for repair or calibration,

provide sufficient packing material to prevent damage during

shipment, and affix appropriate warning labels to promote

careful handling.

Every returned instrument must be accompanied by an

Instrument Return Form, which can be downloaded from

the Ludlum website at www.ludlums.com. Find the form by

clicking the “Support” tab and selecting “Repair and

Calibration” from the drop-down menu. Then choose the

appropriate Repair and Calibration division where you will find

a link to the form.
