Single photon counting detector with picosecond timing resolution

Come hear our colleague Amelia Markfort present at IEEE NSS MIC  21st October   Investigating machine learning solutions for high-speed data analysis and imaging of a single photon counting detector with picosecond timing resolution   Limitations in algorithmic data analysis techniques for image processing of photon detection devices are becoming increasingly apparent. Use of high… Continue reading Single photon counting detector with picosecond timing resolution

The National Ignition Facility Brings Star Power to the Earth

PH-3 DS006-Product-Photomultiplier

An Aug. 8 experiment at National Ignition Facility (NIF) at LLNL made a significant step toward ignition, achieving a yield of more than 1.3 megajoules (MJ). This advancement puts researchers at the threshold of fusion ignition, an important goal of NIF, and opens access to a new experimental regime.

Building a 3D particle imaging detector

Written by: Ayse Duran R&D Detector Scientist Photek The job of an imaging detector is to register a single particle or a cloud of particles, read the time and position of them and store the relevant information in a computer so that it can be analysed.  However, a single particle does not provide a strong… Continue reading Building a 3D particle imaging detector
