Abstract: Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) CMOS image sensors (CIS), primarily designed for visible-light imaging, have emerged as low-cost, high-spatial-resolution detectors for ionizing radiation. In this talk, I will present various applications of ionizing radiation detection using COTS CIS. These applications were studied at the Bariloche Atomic Center in collaboration with The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy. The investigated applications include thermal neutron detection, neutron imaging, X-ray spectroscopy, as well as transmission and phase-contrast radiography. The results demonstrate that COTS CIS can complement and, in some cases, replace complex and expensive detectors in many applications, offering a cost-effective and accessible alternative for laboratories and educational institutions.
