Competences and capabilities
ADVACAM produces advanced radiation imaging detectors and novel particle tracking cameras based on state-of-the-art Timepix and Timepix3 ASIC chip CERN technology. Highly integrated instrumentation and customized solutions are developed for a wide range of applications including space where low-power light-mass payloads are most valuable for high-resolution wide-range detection and monitoring of space radiation on board satellites for ESA and on the ISS/NASA.
