Description

The UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) deliver detector systems to large scale scientific facilities both in the UK and world-wide. It achieves this through a combination of central laboratory and university led projects and undertakes its own research and development programmes. As part of this activity the STFC’s central laboratories at Harwell, Daresbury and Edinburgh are engaged in the development, construction, delivery and ongoing support for pixel systems in scientific and commercial applications. This presentation will cover highlights from this programme including specific pixelated detector projects and underpinning technology developments for future programs for fields such as High Energy Physics applications, Nuclear Physics, Space Science, life sciences and other commercial applications.
