RDQuant - Strålingsdeteksjon, Diskretisering, og Kvantifisering

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

RDQUANT is a project to advance the detection, quantisation, and quantification of electromagnetic radiation from x-rays to infrared. The project aims to deliver next-generation photon detectors with higher sensitivity, accuracy, and efficiency, using innovative materials and custom ASICs. The main objectives are the design and validation of two detector subsystems with new, verifiable performance: 1. infrared imaging chain (VGA resolution, 60fps, 1-10um band, <10W), 2. gamma chain (<1%FWHM resolution at 662keV, 10k events/sec rate, <1L,<1kg<10W SWaP). Key challenges include optimising detector materials, packaging, and electronic readout to minimise noise and maximise reliability. The methodology combines research into new materials, advanced packaging, calibration, and signal processing. The outcome will be smaller, lighter, and more cost-effective detector systems, supporting scientific and industrial applications in fields such as nuclear physics, astronomy, and security.
