Novel Photosensor Technology ...
An 80 years old electronic sensor remains the key element of radiation detectors in some very important applications: - Medical Tomography (gamma cameras, PET, SPECT scanners), - Homeland Security (detectors of nuclear materials), - Physics Research (detectors of neutrinos, cosmic rays and dark matt...

An 80 years old electronic sensor remains the key element of radiation detectors in some very important applications: - Medical Tomography (gamma cameras, PET, SPECT scanners), - Homeland Security (detectors of nuclear materials), - Physics Research (detectors of neutrinos, cosmic rays and dark matter; in mines, oceans, Antarctic ice).
