Ambient Dose Equivalent Filter

Ludlum offers an energy compensation filter that flattens the energy response of our popular Model 44-9 GM pancake detector and Model 26-Series friskers to facilitate measuring Ambient Equivalent Dose (Sieverts). 

The venerable GM pancake has a significant over-response at lower energies between approximately 20 to 160 keV (see red line on graph below). Any dose measurements taken with an unfiltered GM pancake detector would thus have unacceptable errors at these lower energies. This filter developed by Ludlum flattens the response to within ± 20% referenced to 137Cs (662 keV) over an energy range of 20 keV to 1.2 MeV.
