Abstract Detectors based on TlBr crystals are ideally suited for the probes, where small size and rapid stopping power are highly desirable attributes. The development results of TlBr probes for medical and nuclear industry applications are presented here. Probes for both applications include TlBr detectors with dimensions of 5×5×2 mm 3 and a microelectronics preamplifier. The different construction and technological aspects of probes designed for both application types are discussed. The probes were tested over a wide energy range. We obtained energy resolutions of 3.6, 4.9 and 14.5 keV at energies of 59.6, 122 and 662 keV, respectively, for the developed probe prototypes at room temperature. The observed performances of probe prototypes having TlBr detectors confirmed their promising potential for probe applications.
