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 |
