We will test the feasibility of novel radiation detectors having a larger dynamic range than currently available devices achieved by an innovative electrode geometry on the radiation detector itself. The electrode will comprise pixels of differing sizes. These new instruments would allow high-resolution spectroscopy in environments where very high levels of radiation exist, in addition to measurements in low dose environments; a range typically encountered in nuclear power generation scenarios. This removes the need for multiple detectors to be carried for different environments, speeds up making measurements and decisions, improves safety, and reduces cost. Trial detectors with test electrode geometries will be made using our existing manufacturing capability and tested in high dose environments to assess their performance and determine if they will be suitable for inclusion in a final manufacturable and saleable device. Final technology readiness level at the end of the project is expected to be level 4 or 5.

我们将测试新型辐射探测器的可行性，该探测器具有比当前可用的设备更大的动态范围，这是通过辐射探测器本身的创新电极几何结构实现的。电极将包括不同尺寸的像素。除了在低剂量环境中进行测量外，这些新仪器还可以在存在非常高辐射水平的环境中进行高分辨率光谱分析；核发电场景中通常遇到的范围。这样就无需针对不同环境携带多个探测器，加快测量和决策速度，提高安全性并降低成本。具有测试电极几何形状的试验探测器将利用我们现有的制造能力进行制造，并在高剂量环境中进行测试，以评估其性能并确定它们是否适合包含在最终的可制造和可销售的设备中。项目结束时的最终技术准备级别预计为 4 级或 5 级。
