* High purity Germanium (HpGe) gamma detector to cover the spectrum from 30 keV to 2000 keV, minimum 50% relative efficiency with low-background carbon fiber endcap.
* Low noise configuration for the measurement of low activity samples in particular Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) including Pb-210 and Ra-226 and zero background for Pb-210@46.5 keV.
* Mounting (low-background dipstick cryostat configuration) must be compatible with supplied one (1) condensing liquid nitrogen cooling system and supplied one (1) ultra-low background lead shield.
* System must be compatible with existing hardware and software (currently running Ortec GammaVision analytical software and Ortec DSPEC analysers).
