SPARTA™

Spectroscopic Particulate Activity Monitor

The SPARTA™ system has been developed for envi-

ronmental monitoring of the aerosols. It is a detection

and identi cation monitoring station for alpha, beta

and gamma radioisotopes.

The ambient air is sampled from the environment

using a vacuum pump and particulates are trapped

on the  lter paper. Detectors are facing the  lter. The

signal resulting is then processed by the software to a

volume activity and to perform gamma spectrometry.

A double silicon detector performs the gamma com-

pensation and a radial  n grid limits the scattering

of the alpha particles (static compensation) which

facilitates the compensation of the radon and thoron

solid progenies by the processing algorithms (dyna-

mic compensation).
