Title Sensor test stand 
Description Test stand for sensor testing under controlled temperature and humidity environment. 
Type Of Technology Systems, Materials & Instrumental Engineering 
Year Produced 2023 
Impact This test stand allows for the characterisation of irradiated sensors under controlled environment, in particular at low temperatures and low humidity. This is particularly important for irradiated sensors to prevent thermal runaway. Cold temperatures usually require a controlled environment, either a vacuum or protective gas. In this case dry air was chosen to allow for temperatures below -40 deg C. The test stand also allows thermocycling of sensors, i.e. provides heating as well.
