GAMMA-X N-type coaxial HPGe detectors are made for high-performance gamma spectroscopy in the energy range ~3 keV and upwards.

GAMMA-X (GMX) detectors are coaxial Germanium (Ge) detectors with an ultra-thin entrance window. While most coaxial detectors have entrance windows from 500- to 1000-μm thick, the entrance window of these detectors is a 0.3-μm-thick, ion-implanted contact, extending the lower range of useful energies to around 3 keV. Ion implantation results in a totally stable contact which will not deteriorate with repeated cycling. Moreover, N-type HPGe detectors have been shown to be resistant to damage by fast neutrons.
