Gamma Spectrometry Compton Suppression System

A gamma spectrometry Compton suppression system comprising of an ultra-lowbackground shield coupled with a cosmic veto system would reduce the inherent background of natural and cosmic gamma radiation enabling ultra-precise measurements of trace gamma radiation within any given sample. This highly specialist equipment (mostly found at military or government facilities) will significantly extend the University of Southampton's capability to deliver UK and internationally-leading fundamental and applied research into...
