Scientists from Tomsk State University (TSU) and NRC "Kurchatov Institute" - NIISI (Moscow) have created X-ray detectors with matrix and microstrip sensors. Domestic components were used in the development, the university's press service said.
There is now a clear request from the domestic instrument engineering industry - devices are needed for detecting, registering, measuring and analyzing physical signals, particles or radiation.
The development of Tomsk and Moscow specialists is needed for the manufacture of tomographs, mammographs. In addition, detectors are in demand in nuclear power, industrial flaw detection, security systems and science, Tyazhev emphasized.
The project is developing two types of sensors: matrix (consisting of a two-dimensional matrix of photosensitive elements) and microstrip (a miniature transmission line in the form of a strip on a chip).
Scientists have already designed and tested the first prototype detectors. They eliminated the shortcomings and moved on to the next stage of work. After the experimental sample, the developers will present a full-format detector module.
