  1. 54. The “Endo-TOF-PET-US” Project, A Multimodal Ultra-Sonic Probe Featuring Time-Of-Flight-Positron-Emission-Tomography in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Endoscopy
    Thomas Meyer (CERN)
    22/05/2012, 15:30
    S2 - Applications
    Oral
    At first stage, the paper will briefly outline the functionality of this instrument, which aims at the development of new and higher performance imaging techniques with Time of Flight-PET capability in endoscopy and surgical oncology. The main fraction of the paper, however, will focus on the associated scientific and technological challenges to be met in fields such as scintillating...

  2. 74. The AX-PET Experiment: A Demonstrator for an Axial Positron Emission Tomography
    Chiara Casella (ETH Zurich)
    22/05/2012, 15:55
    S2 - Applications
    Oral
    The AX-PET (AXial Positron Emission Tomography) experiment proposes a novel geometrical approach for a PET scanner, in which long LYSO scintillator crystals are placed axially in the tomograph. Arrays of WLS strips, placed behind each layer of crystals, provide the measurement of the axial coordinate. Both the crystals and the WLS strips are individually read out by G-APDs (Geiger-mode...

  3. 196. Simultaneous Searches for WIMP Dark Matter and 0-ν ββ Decay at the Ton-Scale with a High-Pressure Xenon gas Electroluminescent TPC
    David Nygren (LBNL)
    22/05/2012, 16:20
    S2 - Applications
    Oral
    Future experimental sensitivity goals for both WIMP dark matter and $0\nu \, \beta \beta$ decay searches converge on ton-scale active masses, and even much more. Background requirements for both searches have many similarities. Xenon is a prominent candidate for new experimental efforts in both topics at this scale. The question naturally arises whether both searches can be made in a single...

  4. 303. Poster Review - Applications
    Dr Andrew Weisenberger (Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility)
    22/05/2012, 16:45
  5. 83. Compton Telescope Prototype Based on LaBr3-SiPM Detectors
    Gabriela Llosa (IFIC/CSIC-UVEG Valencia)
    22/05/2012, 17:40
    S2 - Applications
    Oral
    A Compton telescope prototype for dose monitoring in hadrontherapy is under development at IFIC Valencia within the European project ENVISION. The detector characterization has been completed and the first imaging tests have been carried out with two detectors operated in time coincidence. The first detector consists of a 16x18x5mm LaBr3 continuous crystal coupled to a SiPM array from...

  6. 197. The MU-RAY Experiment. An Application of SiPM Technology to the Understanding of Volcanic Phenomena.
    Raffaello D'Alessandro (INFN - Firenze)
    22/05/2012, 18:05
    S2 - Applications
    Oral
    The purpose of the MU-RAY project is to develop an innovative approach to the study of volcanoes and their monitoring based on a particle physics approach. The test site is Vesuvio: one of the higher risk volcanoes in the world. In this context, muon radiography is an innovative method of enormous impact. This is an imaging technique which relies on the measurement, by means of a cosmic ray...

  7. 93. Flying over Radioactivity: the Elba Case
    Antonio Caciolli (INFN - Padova)
    22/05/2012, 18:30
    S2 - Applications
    Oral
    Monitoring the environmental radioactivity has been found to be a fundamental tool in order to keep under control the effect of anthropic modifications of topsoil. It is also a good probe to understand the geological structure of ground surface, faster and extremely cheaper with respect other type of measurements. A light and compact detector for airborne ground radioactivity survey (AGRS) has...
