APPLIED R&D

 The main directions of our activity are as follows: crystal-growing technology; development of specific scintillation detectors; improvement of the materials' performance. We have up-to-date equipment which allows us to study the absorption, luminescence, scintillation and structure parameters, etc.

CRYSTAL GROWTH

 Single crystal growing is the core of scintillator production and the main feature of our activity. Various available growth techniques make it possible to optimize crystal structure and parameters. A new automatic units have been developed and are currently employed for alkali-halide growth from the melt.

PROCESSING 

 A forging technique is used to obtain crystal blanks having a cross section greater than that of the ingot. The machining of blanks is conducted according to the type of material. The available tools can be used for processing crystals and plastics with a high degree of accuracy.

DESIGN AND SIMULATION

 Our specialists will do their best to provide designs meeting the customers' requirements. This goal must be attained by the appropriate: selection of scintillation materials, estimation of maximum light collection, selection of PMT and other electronic components, development of special test models.

TESTING AND CERTIFICATION 

 Quality of detectors is ensured by a set of quality control procedures covering all stages of the development. The following tests may be conducted to meet various operation conditions of scintillators: vibration, multishock, single shock and linear acceleration, temperature, humidity, sunshine test, etc.
