Description We have discovered shortcomings with the current production of detectors. We have supplied feedback to our collaborators and the manufacturer to improve future production batches for the benefit of the wider community.
Through in-depth investigations we have a better understanding of the issues, and the manufacturer is taking steps to address these.
Exploitation Route The manufacturer is supplied with details so they can improve their production process. Our collaboration has gained new tools to investigate the performance of the detectors produced by the manufacturer. We have gained more insight in what is required to assess whether our detector meet performance objectives.
