Constructing a 3D Scanner for Radioactive Objects

Abstract

<p>Over the past year, the Thomas Hardye research group has been developing a 3D scanner for radioactive objects based on Timepix microchip technology [1]. Although only a first prototype, this scanner, incorporating the Jablotron MX-10 detector [2,3] has proven to be a very interesting project, both in terms of the engineering challenges it presented, and the potential scientific value of its data.</p> <p>Please note that T. Whyntie is <em>not</em> an author, but has uploaded this poster to FigShare on behalf of the authors. This is <strong>DRN000212</strong> in the CERN@school document inventory.</p> <p>[1] X.
