The mission of the NML group is to advance the state-of-the-art in radiation measurements for security and medical applications, with a focus on neutron detection. Current research focuses on inference imaging for nuclear safeguards and includes the development of radiation detection systems based on scintillators and superheated emulsions, together with their readout electronics and data processing algorithms.
