ALIBAVA SYSTEMS S.L. was born from IMB-CNM (CSIC), Barcelona, Spain; IFIC (CSIC), Valencia, Spain; and University of Liverpool, UK; in the field of radiation detectors for Particle Physics applications. Actually, the name of the company comes from this collaboration (LIverpool, BArcelona, VAlencia). Several researchers from these institutes felt the need to develop laboratory instruments and solutions for the characterisation of radiation sensitive detectors. They developed different solutions that were a success, not only for them, but also for their international collaborators. At the view of this success, they have decided to create the Company in order to expand their possibilities and create the proper environment for more developments.
