Hey,
we are a group of students of the Vienna University of Economics and Business and we are currently working on a project together with CERN.
In our course “Idea Generation”, we are trying to identify application fields for the quantum dosimeter, a technology developed by CERN.
The technology is not only able to measure the dose of ionizing radiation, but can also detect the particles composition. The sensor recognizes specific particle signatures and is therefore able to identify the kind of radiation that is introduced e.g. alpha-, beta-, gamma-, X-rays, but also certain types of ultraviolet light. Therefore it can give current information about the degree of harmfulness or severity – the damage factor.
This technology is very sensitive, so it enables its user to recognize lower levels of radiation than other instruments, which are used for the time being. Speaking in technical language the measurement of radiation above 3 KeV is possible.
Both the data readout and the signal processing are done digitally on your computer. A software tool provides a readable output which is generated in real-time.
To get some more informations about the technology please open the following link:

As I know you are experts in the field of physics, I would be really happy if you can name some application fields, where you think that this innovative technology could be useful. Probably you even know some people working with radiation that you could ask.
I really would appreciate a lot of ideas. :-)
Thank you already in advance and greetings from Vienna (Austria)
