Radiation Detection & Instrumentation

page_image_radiation_detectors

As today’s world evolves and expands, research into Radiation Detection & Instrumentation (RDI) holds more relevance than ever. RDI findings can be applied across a wide range of industrial sectors that use radiation detection as a core technology – from medical imaging and security scanning, to the defence services and scientific research organisations, particularly those focusing on nuclear physics, high-energy physics and space science. As the nuclear power industry enters a new era, there’s renewed interest in detector technologies across the energy sector too.

Joining forces

As RDI research can offer insight into Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics & Astronomy, and Applied Radiation Physics, we collaborate with external associated nodes, as well as with SEPnet universities, regional industrial partners and other research institutions. Linking directly with the Science & Technology Facilities Council, we’re building a critical mass of Radiation Detector research that will support both regional activity and national science priorities. None of which would have been possible without the SEPnet collaboration.
