Semelab are the co-ordinator for a diamond-based EU collaborative project.The project involves a number of leading manufacturers and research organisations which specialise in this area.

Main aims of Project:
To develop a Chemical Vapor Deposition Diamond Array-based Radiation Dosimeter System.
This will improve the level of accuracy and performance required by Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

Such a system includes three main challenges:
• The development of the CVD diamond array detectors
• The development of advanced readout electronics
• Integration of the main system components

Key Features:
• Radiation hardness
• Chemical resistance
• High temperature operation

Applications:
• Radiation Detectors for use in heavy industry
(Nuclear,Mining, Aerospace)
• Medical X-ray detection
