Key words:
sensors, instrumentation, control.
Download the topic PDF file

In the field of sensors: an advanced technology for the control of superconductor sensors whose sensitivity is far greater than ordinary sensors
A broad spectrum of measuring methods (optic, nuclear, electronic, and other measuring methods)
Multidisciplinary skills and expertise, meaning that measurements can be crosschecked for increased certainty
In the field of instrumentation: Skills and expertise in fast pulsed electronics (stemming from the measurement techniques used for charged particles) can be transposed to improve broadband transmissions required by network techniques
In the field of control: 'software sensors' that can enable the modelling of technical processes and the measurement of magnitudes, which cannot be done by direct measurement methods
   
The Teams
30 people, including 2 technicians are on the special team.
   
Equipments
A range of instrument sensor modelling, design and characterisation facilities are available.
   
Methods
The complementary skills and expertise of four laboratories are deployed. The laboratories are:
GREYC: highly sensitive electronics, instrumentation, and imaging www.info.unicaen.fr/GREYC
LAP: process modelling and control . caeinfo.in2p3.fr
LPC: radiation sensors, particle sensors and instrumentation www.greyc.ismra.fr/LAP
CIRIL: sensors and optic instrumentation, and laser www.ganil.fr/ciril
   
Achievements
Industrial applications can be broken down into three main areas:
Medical applications
Non destructive testing
The optimisation of process control
