Crystal Eye is a new generation all sky monitor for the observation of 10keV-30MeV cosmic photons exploiting a new detection technique, which foresees enhanced localization capability with respect to current instruments. This is now possible thanks to the use of new materials and sensors.
Read MoreAs part of the Super-MuSR upgrade at the ISIS Muon Pulsed Facility, Nuclear Instruments developed advanced front-end electronics, including custom sensors and preamplifiers, and integrated our DAQ-121 digitizer—an 8-channel, 1 Gsps, 12-bit simultaneous sampling system—enhancing time resolution and data throughput for next-generation muon spectroscopy.
Read MoreASTRI Mini-Array is an INAF project to build a network of nine dual-mirror Cherenkov telescopes for gamma-ray astronomy. Located at 2400 m altitude in Tenerife, it will detect high-energy photons (1–300 TeV) from cosmic sources and enable precision measurements in stellar interferometry and cosmic ray physics.
Read MoreThe FAMU experiment at the RIKEN-RAL muon facility aims to precisely measure the proton Zemach radius through detection of characteristic X-rays from muonic hydrogen. Nuclear Instruments developed custom electronics for the LaBr₃:Ce detectors, including innovative preamplifier circuits and a unique “4-1” SiPM readout architecture. These improvements significantly enhanced time resolution—critical for separating prompt and delayed signals—while maintaining excellent energy resolution in the 100–130 keV range.

Read MoreIn collaboration with the Department of Physics at the University of Milano-Bicocca and the Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (CNR), Nuclear Instruments developed the electronics for a compact spectrometer optimized for the detection of hard X-rays generated by runaway electrons. Designed for integration with the Gamma-Ray Imager diagnostic on the DIII-D tokamak, the spectrometer features a high dynamic range (above 10 MeV), fast timing (≈70 ns FWHM), and real-time gain monitoring via an embedded LED. Stable performance under high counting rates (>1 MCps) makes this instrument well-suited for advanced plasma diagnostics.
