For radiologists, nuclear workers, and anyone who has to work with or is exposed to ionizing radiation.
Hey everyone!
I'm a PhD candidate in materials science, working on a novel ionizing radiation detector (mainly for dosimetry). Long story short, the technology has many possible development routes. As such, I am taking it to the end users and asking what are your biggest difficulties when it comes to equipment calibration. What do you wish the dosimetry equipment would be capable of doing?
Also, on a different note, what do you wish your personal dosimeter could do?
This is just preliminary research, would love to chat more with anyone interested!
Many thanks and truly appreciate your kind feedback!
There are many possible applications and therefore many different characteristics to expect from dosimeters. You might need all sorts of properties depending on the application: good spatial resolution (meaning small size among other things), little energy dependance, good signal to noise ratio, robustness, real-time reading... Actually, it could make more sense for you to identify the strong points of your detector compared to available technologies and then to look for an application where said properties are most important.
