An array of 2x2 CdTe HEXITEC detectors for hyperspectral X-ray imaging
We work closely with UK and international facilities and universities to understand their detector requirements needed to make scientific breakthroughs; study advanced materials to improve next-generation detectors; and work with engineers across the department to design and build full detector systems. We look to make the most of our technology by taking our scientific detectors into high-impact applications like medical and security imaging.
Our team provides a range of expertise and capabilities to develop and deliver radiation detectors for a range of applications, including:
-
Gas, semiconductor and scintillator radiation detector design and manufacture
-
Cd(Zn)Te and other high-Z detector material characterisation
-
Scintillator characterisation and instrumentation
-
CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) and CCD (Charge Coupled Device)
testing and evaluation
-
He-3 tube and 2D neutron detector design
-
Radiation, optical and detector response simulations
-
Detector readout, mechanics, cooling, and integration
