The Radiation Detector Simulation Group is a research community established to develop high-precision detectors for applications in nuclear, space, and medical fields. Our group leverages advanced simulation techniques to design, optimize, and analyze the performance of detectors, while also conducting in-depth studies on the effects of radiation on materials.

Simulation studies play a critical role in scientific research and technology development. Testing all conditions in a laboratory setting, especially for complex systems like radiation detectors, is both costly and time-consuming. Instead, simulations allow hundreds of different scenarios to be modeled without the need for real experiments, enabling optimization of detector design and material selection.

The Importance of Simulation:

• Speed and Efficiency: Simulation techniques enable rapid and cost-effective evaluation of designs, bypassing lengthy experimental processes.
• Comprehensive Analysis: The effects of radiation sources at different energy levels can be thoroughly analyzed using simulation software. This helps improve critical characteristics of detectors, such as sensitivity and accuracy.
• Risk Mitigation: Risks encountered in real experiments can be anticipated and controlled through simulations.
• Contributions to Future Technologies: Simulations are vital for designing detectors capable of withstanding extreme conditions, particularly for nuclear and space applications.

Our Research Areas:

• Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD)  and optimization of detectors
• Simulation of radiation-material interactions using Monte Carlo methods
• Preliminary feasibility studies for prototype production of radiation detectors used in space and nuclear domains
