Notice Title
UKRI-4336 A novel detector system for muon spectrometers
Notice Description
UK Research and Innovation, Science and Technology Facility Centre had a requirement for a novel detector system for muon spectrometers. Due to technical reasons, there was only 1 suitable supplier.
Lot Information
Lot 1
UK Research and Innovation, Science and Technology Facility Centre had a requirement for a novel detector system for muon spectrometers. The resulting system has been rigorously tested at the ISIS muon source, and proven to meet the requirements for SuperMuSR. This system is state of the art and world-unique so due to technical reasons, there was only 1 suitable supplier.
Procurement Information
Since 2022 Nuclear Instruments and STFC have worked collaboratively, combining NI's expertise in electronics with ours in detector & muon science. The resulting system has been rigorously tested at the ISIS muon source, and proven to meet the requirements for SuperMuSR. Any items from a new supplier would require us to repeat this extensive testing using the ISIS muon beam. This is prohibitively costly in time and staff resource, entirely incommensurate with the SuperMuSR delivery timeline and near-impossible to result in either improved value or improved technological capability.
