Digital luminescence for thin-film electron radiation dosimetry

Objective

Electron beam (e-beam) irradiation is an extremely versatile tool for many applications that can solve societal challenges in the medical sector or in the circular economy. E-beams are used for example for cancer therapeutics, vaccine development, sterilization, but also for energy saving ink-curing and reprocessing of recycled plastic. In all cases the applied dose, i.e. energy per irradiated mass, is the main process parameter to maintain a certain level of product quality, safety or human health, respectively. The dose in conventional e-beam dosimeters is measured with photo dosimeters that show a change in colour that can be correlated to the irradiation dose. All the current e-beam dosimeters have multiple drawbacks and imitations: they are single-use, cannot be used in real-time within the running process and cover a limited dose range only. The project E-RADOS aims to validate a promising new technology for e-beam dosimetry. A novel sensor foil, developed for UV irradiation, surprisingly showed to function for e-beam dosimetry. It has exciting features that overcome dose measurement limits and improves workflow: An optical signal at the desired e-beam dose enables real-time dosimetry during processes at the relevant surfaces. These sensor foils are reusable, lowering their overall footprint substantially.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
