Development of innovative radiation detectors and computational techniques for improving quality of life

该项目将生产改进的辐射探测器和先进的计算技术，满足在预测和评估辐射对国土安全、医学、航空和空间应用的影响方面的需要。国家研究优先事项"促进和保持良好健康"的"预防性保健"优先目标将得到解决，以减少参与此类活动的人的风险。这一基础研究还将提高澳大利亚在这一领域的国际声誉，激发当地的专业知识，并培养在这一领域工作的大量研究人员。

This project will produce improved radiation detectors and advanced computational techniques, addressing needs in the prediction and assessment of the effects of radiation in homeland security, medicine, aviation and space applications. The 'preventative healthcare' priority goal of the National Research priority 'Promoting and maintaining good health' will be addressed, serving to reduce the risk to people involved in such activities. This fundamental research will also enhance Australia's international reputation in this field, stimulate local expertise and create a critical mass of researchers working in this sector.
