The impact of business accelerators and incubators in the UK

This report explores how incubators and accelerators impact the startups they support, and which types of support drive this impact. It also examines how incubators and accelerators affect the wider business ecosystem. The report: - examines the objectives of UK accelerators and incubators, and the barriers to reaching these objectives - determines which types of support offered by incubators and accelerators (for example provision of workspace, mentoring, funding or training) add the most value to participating startups - presents a “theory of change” explaining how these types of support make their impact - investigates how Local Enterprise partnerships and Growth Hubs interact with or support accelerators and incubators in their region, and how this interaction helps both parties achieve their objective

Scintillation detector for gamma spectroscopy

This project is documentation of a scintillator radiation detector for gamma spectroscopy. Gamma radiation causes a scintillator crystal to illuminate, which is captured and converted to an electrical signal. The detector works by measuring electrical pulses from the output of a photomultiplier tube (PMT). The amplitude of these pulses is proportional to the energy of the radiation. By creating a histogram with x-axis of energy and y axis of “# of counts”, the energy spectrum of the radiation can be identified and analyzed
