The Newest Technique for Nuclear Emulsion Readout

Abstract

Because of the expansion and growth of applications of nuclear emulsion plate, it has become much important to analyze more quickly and larger area of nuclear emulsion. We have developed a high speed nuclear emulsion plate read-out system with an ultra-wide field of view optics, the area of which is 625 times larger than previous system. In order to cover such large FOV, we have applied a mosaic imager, which consists of 72 CMOS image sensors, and 72 GPUs for three-dimensional image processing. This system gives a significant improvement of readout throughput increase two orders of magnitude than previous system.
