Intelligent Radiation Sensor Readout System​

Project description

Advanced photon radiation detector system relying on computer science, neuroscience and AI advances

The EIC-funded i-RASE project will advance radiation sensor technology by creating a system-in-package chip that combines computer science, neuroscience and AI. The aim is to develop the first real-time photon-by-photon radiation detector, with potential applications in fields such as medical imaging, industrial inspection, space instrumentation and environmental monitoring. Researchers will design artificial neural networks inspired by physics for comprehensive sensor signal processing and real-time measurement of radiation interactions. By embedding this technology into hardware, they will provide cost-effective and energy-efficient radiation detection, along with intelligent radiation data output with unmatched accuracy and speed. Their approach will help reduce digital data output and facilitate information retrieval on incident radiation.

Objective

"The vision of i-RASE is to pioneer a new class of radiation sensor system-in-package (SIP) chips at the intersection of computer science- and neuroscience-oriented approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) development.

The i-RASE project aims to design, build, test, and implement the first on-the-fly photon-by-photon radiation detector with transformational potential for various radiation applications, such as medical imaging, industrial inspection, scientific space instrumentation, environmental monitoring, and more.

The i-RASE project will develop physics-inspired artificial neural networks (ANNs) for comprehensive sensor signal processing (SP) and real-time (RT) measurement of radiation interactions. It will compact this technology into an ultimate vision for SP embedded in hardware (HW) as an ""all-in-one"" SIP, enabling cost- and energy-efficient detection and intelligent radiation data output with unparalleled accuracy and speed. This approach enhances measurement precision and speed by utilizing complex SP, event characterization, and on-the-fly processing of incident radiation-induced signals in near real-time. As a result, it facilitates the retrieval of comprehensive information on incident radiation, ultimately improving measurement accuracy and speed while reducing digital data output."
