Description

Building on its strong relationship with French academic sector, Iris Instruments is proud to show its ready to deploy instruments for muography. Two versions are available : a micromegas based and a scintillator based. The first one is the direct industrialization of the successful instrument deployed by CEA during the ScanPyramids mission with an even better gas managing system allowing the instrument to consume less than 1.5L/h of a premixed gas mixture. The second one is a next generation instrument based on the instruments deployed by CNRS/IP2I for more than 10 years in the Soufriere de Guadeloupe. These two technologies offer complementary advantages : the very fine precision of the micromegas technology or the large collection surface of the scintillator. This allow our instruments to cover a large range of use cases while both are field ready with a power consumption below 50W on a 12V battery compatible supply and with a remote lightweight web monitoring fully usable on slow connections (GSM). Theses two different instruments have been fully tested in geosciences environments (decommissioned mines and quarry) and are suited to various harsh environments both in and outdoors.
