The University of the West of Scotland ( UWS ) has developed a LaBr3 ( Ce ) radiation detector module, specialized in nuclear radiation monitoring, a tool in the training of professionals and the advancement of clean energy.
The development of a LaBr3 radiation detector module
The device, designed by Dr. S. Nara Singh Bondili, is notable for its portability and adaptability, allowing its use in high-end laboratories such as CERN and for applications in nuclear astrophysics, medical research, and environmental sensing. These features consolidate its role in the investigation of complex nuclear structures and fundamental reactions in physics.
UWS students have begun to benefit from this technology, integrating one of the prototypes into their educational program to gain practical skills in nuclear physics and energy applications.
This development, supported by global collaborations and funding from institutions such as the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the UKSTFC , demonstrates UWS’s commitment to academic excellence and advanced research. With a prototype launched in 2021, the project continues to evolve in collaboration with other prestigious universities.
