International Cosmic Day 2018-11-09
The 7th International Cosmic Day will be on 29th of November 2018. The International Cosmic Day brings together students, teachers and scientists to talk and learn about Cosmic Rays. During the International Cosmic Day (ICD) students will find answers to questions like: What are cosmic particles? Where do they come from? How can they be measured? Furthermore, own measurements can be performed or provided data can be analyzed and used to participate in the day. Groups all over the world will come...

Low light-level sensors

Detection of light is one of the major, basic principles of measurements and diagnostics in science and many applications. Many applications require single photon detection in various energy domains. The LLL detection in the coming years has the promise of a technology revolution.

LLL sensors

Photomultiplier Tubes (PMT)

Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM)

More LLL sensors

Abalone concept

Superconducting transition
edge sensors (TES)

Neganov-Luke light devices

Organic sensors

Consortium

The project consortium carries out all activities defined in the SENSE work programme, coordinates the R&D activities of the academic research groups and industry partners and is responsible for the implementation of the low-light level R&D roadmap.
