Evaluation of Organic Semiconductor Radiation Detectors for safeguarding applications

基于有机半导体(OSC)的辐射探测器在核安全领域有着广阔的应用前景。该项目将使用伦敦玛丽女王大学(QMUL)探测器开发小组(DDG)利用STFC资金开发的基于块状异质结辐射探测器的现有技术，并将其应用于门户安全演示器。其目的是解决针对国际标准的技术和科学要求。这项研究的主要目标是研究OSC设备的长期性能和稳定性(包括温度和湿度)、OSC老化和对放射源的响应。

Organic semiconductor (OSC)-based radiation detectors have promise for nuclear security applications. This project will use existing technology that the Detector Development Group (DDG) at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) have developed using STFC funding, based on bulk heterojunction radiation detectors and apply this to target a portal security demonstrator. The aim is to address technical and scientific requirements targeting international standards. The key goals for this are to study long term performance and stability of OSC devices (including temperature and humidity), OSC aging and response to radiation sources.
