Description

The GLP Series Planar HPGe Detector is a specialized low-energy photon spectrometer (LEPS) designed for high-resolution gamma and X-ray spectroscopy in the energy range from approximately 5 keV to 300 keV.

Unlike coaxial HPGe detectors, the GLP series features a planar crystal design, making it highly sensitive to low-energy photons and ideal for applications where precision at low energies is critical.

With small-area crystal geometry, the detector minimizes capacitance, resulting in exceptional energy resolution and the best timing performance, which is particularly important in nuclear structure physics and advanced research environments.

The GLP detector is widely recognized as an irreplaceable solution for low-energy spectroscopy, offering reliable, high-precision performance for laboratories requiring accurate detection of X-rays and low-energy gamma emissions.
