Description
The Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking licensing and partnership opportunities for the KM200, a configurable amplifier for radiation detection applications. The KM200 is designed to replace the discontinued Amptek A-111 and provides improved signal processing for radiation detection systems. It features a faster bipolar shaper and advanced discriminator circuitry, eliminating double pulsing and reducing noise while maintaining signal integrity at high count rates. The KM200 is also configurable for different detector types, enabling adjustments for varying signal conditions.
• High count rate capabilities: Achieves a 10-fold improvement in count rate over existing systems, supporting high-throughput applications such as spent fuel measurement.
• Enhanced measurement precision: Improves neutron detection sensitivity and accuracy, even in high-pressure or slow gas admixture environments.
• Compact and versatile design: Supports denser detector integration, reducing the number of tubes per amplifier while maintaining reliable performance in a smaller footprint.
• Seamless system integration: Built with widely available components and tested for compatibility as a drop-in replacement for legacy systems.
• Extended application range: Adaptable to various detector types, improving stability in diverse radiation detection environments and reducing high voltage drift effects.
The ideal partners will support continued development by enhancing system performance, optimizing usability, and manufacturing and scaling production for integration into radiation detection systems used in nuclear safeguards, medical imaging, radiation monitoring, and security applications.
