The Lumensium project, led by Nicolas del Giudice and Laurent Douce, researchers in the Organic Materials Department at the Institut de Physique et Chimie des Matériaux in Strasbourg, is one of 17 projects supported by the CNRS RISE programme.
The Lumensium project, led by Nicolas del Giudice and Laurent Douce, researchers in the Organic Materials Department at the Institut de Physique et Chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg (CNRS/Université de Strasbourg), is proposing an innovative crystalline organic scintillator capable of detecting neutrons at all energies and discriminating them from gamma rays. This new material will replace Helium(3), a material in tension currently used as standard detectors for neutron detection, while being more efficient and versatile.
