Work Package 4 Task 4.3 Realising Large Area Detectors Kick-off meeting

Task duration – 36 months Partners involved: ESS, ILL The Task addresses Shortage of He3 Detectors for direct geometry neutron spectrometers Detectors for large-area options for other detectors Production capability Signal-to-background Optimization Multi-Grid detector B-10 based Multi-Grid detector, invented at ILL This work will build on the close collaboration since 2010, in particular within the CRISP FP7 grant to realise the possibility of such detectors for both ESS and the ILL 2 Description of Task 4.3
