This project will explore the posibility of applying newly emerging silicon photo-multiplier devices in a new range of very compact scintillation counter systems. These novel detectors will be designed to be self-contained, complete with their precision bias supply, and front-end electronics. These powerful new detectors have the potential to find application in Homeland Security and Border Protection situations. They may then later become increasingly available to First-Responder Teams for use in emergency situations. During this programme of research, we will also explore the potential for a new compact directional gamma-ray spectrometer that will be able to guide the user towards the source of radiation whilst simultaneously providing an identification of the nature of that source. A new, compact neutron sensor will also be explored to detect hidden fissile material in cargo.

该项目将探索在一系列非常紧凑的闪烁计数器系统中应用新出现的硅光倍增器件的可能性。这些新型探测器将被设计成独立的，配有精密偏置电源和前端电子设备。这些功能强大的新探测器有可能在国土安全和边境保护情况下得到应用。然后，它们可能会越来越多地提供给急救团队，用于紧急情况。在这项研究计划中，我们还将探索一种新的紧凑型定向伽马射线能谱仪的可能性，它将能够引导用户找到辐射源，同时提供对该辐射源的性质的识别。还将探索一种新的紧凑型中子传感器，以探测货物中隐藏的裂变材料。
