SEMICOOL-H Hybrid cooling system for semiconductor detectors of X- and Gamma- Rays

Coordinator: BALTIC SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS SIA (LV)

Semiconductor detectors for x- and gamma-rays registration are widely used in nuclear energetic and ecology, geology and mineral resource industry, medicine and scientific research activities, other spheres. To provide the best performance in all applications, HPGe and SiLi detectors require a cooling till liquid nitrogen (LN2) temperatures. In general cooling system semiconductor detectors are installed in vacuum cryostat which is submerced to Dewar vessel with LN2. In the process of using LN2 there is constant boiling and evaporating of LN2 and therefore there is a permanent necessity to co…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €50k toward a total project budget of €71k — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 0.5 years from 2015-04-01 to 2015-09-30.
