Ultra-fast soft X-ray sensorics for spectral monitoring of high-temperature plasmas Project ID: TK04030191 Provider: Technological Agency of the Czech Republic Period: Jan 01, 2022 - Dec 31, 2025 Recipient - coordinator Institute of Plasma Physics, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague Principal Investigator: Ing. Martin Imríšek Co-recepient(s) / PI(s): Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University, Prague -- Ing. Michal Marčišovský, Ph.D. Co-investigators from IPP V. Weinzettl, J. Svoboda, M. Jeřáb Aims of the project: The project is primarily focused on research, development and realisation of a new generation of sensors for studies of fast processes in high-temperature plasmas, implemented via miniature radiation-hard ultra-fast X-ray cameras with the frame rate up to tens of thousands frames per second being sensitive to X-ray radiation of energies from 4 to 20 keV. The camera core will consist of an innovative monolithic sensor in the form of a microelectronic circuit, providing a feature of measuring energy of individual photons. The primary target market of the final product are presently research devices with a thermonuclear plasma but, last not least, these detectors can be widely used in other fields of fundamental research, aerospace and industry, where monitoring of fast processes is required.
