The innovation of SRPCs lies in the electrodes, which are made with industrial techniques for depositing very thin Diamond-Like-Carbon films on flexible or rigid substrates, have high mechanical strength and chemical resistance, and show an easily modulated surface resistivity. The latter characteristic, together with the implementation of special current evacuation schemes, allows the construction of detectors operating at very high radiation fluxes while maintaining characteristics of fast time response, radiation robustness and simple construction.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #20415c;\">Possible applications<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High-energy physics experiments<\/li>\n<li>Calorimetry<\/li>\n<li>Medical diagnostics (e.g. PET)<\/li>\n<li>Homeland security (e.g. port and airport monitor portals)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #20415c;\">Advantages<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Change in resistivity in a simple way<\/li>\n<li>It works in environments with high radiation fluxes<\/li>\n<li>Fast time response<\/li>\n<li>Easy to make<\/li>\n<li>Low construction cost<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;
