Background
1. Manufacture of semiconductor nuclear detectors to detect gamma photons,
very rarely done. Usually,
>> Surface Barrier Detector to detect the most positively charged particle
radiation, such as alpha particle radiation. (e.g. Am-241)
>> Diffused Detector to detect negative particle radiation, such as beta
particle radiation.

2. Nuclear detectors based on the interaction effects of radiation (Gas Filled

Detector & Sintilation Detectors (2)) has :
a) Relatively large geometric construction.
b) Require large power supply to be able to detect particle radiation.
c) The use detector unit is not portable.
d) Require a high linearity of a detector to detect gamma radiation photons.

3. In the future, is expected to replace surveymeter applied directly to the robot.

Authenticity of Research

© This is the development of articles downloaded from the site

http://www.maxim-ic.com/an2236, which contains about applications using
IC op-amps and comparators Maxim brand to build a circuit gamma photon
detector.
© Author's knowledge, in Polytechnics Institute of Nuclear Technology has
never done the same research with the proposed final project.
© Statement of Sri Mulyono Atmojo NEEC-BATAN in writing on a paper titled
"Development of Nuclear Spectroscopy System Using Photodioda", and
published in the Journal of PRIMA Vol.1 No. 1 / April 1999: 5-10, implicitly
reinforces that use to make the detector photodioda Nuclear is still rarely
performed (3)..

Assumptions and Limitation Problem
Assumptions
1. The use of nuclear photodioda as a
detector placed on the container or
place a really dark / light-resistant
secondary.
This is intended to be captured
wavelength is actually derived from
the wavelength of gamma photons
captured.
2. Wavelength characteristic gamma
photons captured by the 0,0001-0,1
nm (4).
This meant that the wavelength
range measured in accordance with
the wavelength range of gamma
photons in general.
USPEN 11-12-2009
Limitation Problems
1. Knowing the relationship
between the influence of source
distance on the intensity of the
resulting amount as the output of
a semiconductor detector made.
2. Determining linearity between
the number of gamma photons
are captured by the magnitude
photodioda output voltage in
response photodioda output.

Research Objectives

What is your
To create a gamma photon Research
detector with photodioda has Objective,
good linearity, the detection of Chan?
gamma photon radiation which
has a small geometric
construction, portable and does
not require large power supply.

Hmmm..
What a Good
Research!!
