Silicon carbide (SiC) is one of the compound semiconductor which has been considered as a potential alternative to Silicon for the realization of charge particles detectors and dosimeters in high energy physics. The chemical and physical material properties are promising for high temperature and high radiation operation conditions [1]. The potential application of SiC as radiation hard...

Dr Radu Vasilache (Canberra Packard SRL)03/09/2018, 16:22In-beam dose measurements are paramount for any application seeking to harness the effects of the radiation beam, so all the future applications of the laser accelerated beams (as generated in the ELI and CETAL projects) will need such measurements. The gold standard in dose measurement remain the ion chambers, but for the beams we intend to measure they do present some limitations given be...Go to contribution page

Federico Pinna (TO)03/09/2018, 16:42Current research in Nuclear physics often investigates rare reactions, which need intense beams to achieve a statistically sufficient amount of data. High beam intensities pose the problem of overheating the target, an issue, which becomes even more relevant when elements with low melting point are required. Currently, rotating targets are used, but such systems are cumbersome and complex....Go to contribution page

Cristian Massimi (BO), Federica Mingrone (CERN)04/09/2018, 15:19In 2002 the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF started its operation at CERN using a 185-m beam line. After a series of successful measurement campaigns, a second beam line, at 18.5 m from the neutron-producing target, was built in 2014. The two lines provide an excellent combination of good energy resolution and high instantaneous neutron flux. The latter feature results in a...Go to contribution page
