SiC Particle Detectors
Electronic_And_Co

GeneSiC is developing high performance particle detectors, including Neutron Detectors. Significant advantages of this detectors are:

  • Higher speed as compared to competing technologies;
  • Higher sensitivity;
  • Inherently low leakage current, and signal to noise ratio;
  • Solid-State detection;
  • Inherently superior high temperature capability and reliability.
