The DeSIs (Dosimetry Simulation Instrumentation) team is working at the interface between nuclear physics and its societal applications. Its research work focuses on radiation protection issues for health (radiotherapy, medical imaging, shielding), environment (radioactivity) and industry (nuclear energy, industrial irradiation). Its members work on the development of innovative systems for measuring ionizing radiation, as well as on the optimization of Monte Carlo simulation codes for radiation-matter interaction (Geant4, Geant4-DNA, GATE, MCNP). Furthermore, the team is developing diversified collaborations with academic, industrial and medical partners.
