The project, supported by a megagrant from the Russian government, includes sensors based on chromium-compensated gallium arsenide. These sensors can capture images at up to 10 million frames per second. The press service noted that the detector will be used to study the response of materials to pulsed loads, which is especially important for the ITER thermonuclear reactor and other dynamic processes.
Gallium arsenide was chosen for its radiation resistance and sensitivity to x-rays. Unlike silicon detectors, which are less effective at high radiation energies, Gintos enables deeper investigations and expands the capabilities of scientific experiments.
