Institute of research into the fundamental laws of the Universe

A number of studies carried out either as physics experiments or as part of our R&D programs lead to innovations that may be of interest to other units of the CEA (Department of Technological Research and Department of Military Applications) or to industry. Two areas in which commercial use has been made of technology are applications of the Micromegas detector for the detection of neutrons and applications of switched capacitor matrices (development of ASIC and rapid digitization boards). In both areas, the service has the appropriate industrial protection.
