Objetivo The aim of the project is the development of a set of radiation detectors for three different applications based on novel Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPM), which have numerous advantages over traditional photo-sensors: high sensitivity, high speed, compact ness, robustness, low voltage and power consumption, low cost.The selected applications are: real-time dosimetry in mammography, radon concentration measurement and detection of radioactive material for homeland security.These demanding applications will demonstrate superior performance and the numerous advantages that SiPM have over traditional vacuum Photo-Multiplier Tubes.They open perspectives for a much wider implementation of new technology, thus creating a benchmark for a global upgrade of radiation detectors. Although the project is highly innovative, the long-term experience of the partners ensures success.The Consortium is composed of 4 highly innovative SMEs from the Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland, specialized in SiPMs and selected applications, and three RTD-performers from Italy, Poland and Russia with extensive expertise and high research potential in the fields of particle detectors and electronics.This consortium ensures full mobilization of European potential and market coverage. These new products will not only significantly increase competitiveness of partners at a world level, but will reinforce the leading role of Europe in the future development of new methods of detection and diagnostics based on this technology.Development of these highly innovative instruments will be undertaken according to European standards and will ensure technical support of the new International WHO Radon Project, the European Security Program and the EURATOM Basic Safety Standards Directive on dose control in mammography.As a result, society will gain from better control of radiation in the environment and medicine and higher security against illegal transport or use of radioactive materials.
