Nuclear / High Energy Physics

Nuclear / High Energy Physics has dominated the order book, mainly double sided silicon microstrip detectors utilizing N-Type silicon for a wide range of projects including R3B/ISOLDE/MINOS/HIRA/BELLE2/ GASPARD and more recently for CLIC/LHCb/ATLAS supplying P-Type Silicon Pixels  with up to 65,000 elements per detector with 10.15neq 1Mev/cm2 radiation hardness survival capability and large 100mm x 100mm windowless N-Type silicon pixels, Strippy Pad, for exotic nucleii research and new element identification.

Space

Major expansion area with NASA/ESA/JAXA projects dominated by RBSP and the series of space weather satellites GOES-R for NOAA with the initial launch scheduled for November 2016 and more recently a series of low cost CUBESATS for University Space Research. Detector thickness covers a wide range from 9um /1000um for the FLY’S EYE dE/E for MMS to SOLAR PROBE PLUS, destined to be the closest satellite encounter to the SUN, 12um/25um/1000um double quadrant pixels with ultra 0.1um uniformity plus SOLAR ORBITER and JUICE, the latest JUPITER MISSION exploring its icy moons ,these last two projects being ESA projects. Only NASA’s HNX’s DRAGON is more recent ,a planned coverage of 100mm x 100mm that will utilise 800 multielement detectors of precision thickness uniformity for studying heavier elements in near space, subject to successful on-going simulations at  CERN .

Diamond

Our new Diamond Detector product range is just as modular as our Silicon Detector range. As a material, diamond offer features complementary to those of silicon: a very short response time, a high temperature operation and an extreme radiation hardness. These qualities allow to create fast detectors that can be operated at room temperature, and thanks to a negligible thermal noise they do not require cooling.

These custom-designed detectors aims to make the most of the key properties of diamond for each individual application: x-ray beam positionning in synchrotron research, nuclear analysis, UV detection, space spectroscopy, neutron monitoring or detection in undergroung exploration…
