The HEXITEC project, funded by the EPSRC will run for 4 years from 1st July 2006.

The aim of the project is to produce fully characterised detector grade cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) on a wafer scale that can be fabricated into a number of generic devices for use in high energy spectroscopic X-ray imaging. 

Essentially, the project combines the efforts of 5 individual institutions, working to deliver contributions that together will meet the primary objectives. One overall project plan and management system is in place to co-ordinate and provide synergy between these institutions. On a day to day basis, information from the parties, progress reports, summaries and finances will be processed and resolved via email, telephone and video conference.

The Project Management Board will meet formally every 3 months to review progress, update the plan and to remove barriers to progress. A Strategic Review Board is being set up and reporting will take place annually in December. Additionally, reports to the sponsor, (EPSRC), will be submitted annually.
