We present a readout and digitization ASIC for radiation detectors using modern Silicon Photomultipliers [1]. The circuit is designed in standard CMOS 110 nm technology, has 64 independent channels and is optimized for time-of-flight measurement in Positron Emission Tomography (TOF-PET). The input amplifier is a low impedance current mirror based on a regulated common-gate topology. The chip...

We present a cosmic ray telescope based on the use of plastic scintillator bars coupled to Advansid Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) through wavelength shifter fibres. The system is comprised of 200 electronic channels organised into 10 couples of orthogonal planes allowing the 3D reconstruction of crossing muons.
Two monolithic PCB boards have been designed to bias and readout all the...

In 2014 the HADES collaboration performed two successful physics production runs with secondary pion beams. Since secondary beams are strongly defocussed in position and momentum, two fast tracking stations were installed along the pion beam chicane following the pion production target providing the momentum measurement of each individual pion. The momentum is reconstructed using the position...

Cosmic ray tomography consists in using particle detectors to reveal the presence of materials with high atomic number, as radioactive elements or heavy metals. Although the validity of the muon tomography has already been demonstrated, its use on a large scale is still disfavored because of the high cost and complexity of the detectors.
We propose a novel detector (Thick Groove Detector,...

We present the experimental verification of the Interaction Vertex Imaging technique for the reconstruction of the position and size of a proton beam for hadrontherapy. The results presented demonstrate the feasibility and attractiveness of this technique using protons scattered at large angles and emerging from the phantom, in terms of both event rate and reconstruction accuracy. The results...

We have investigated the possibility of using a liquid Xe (LXe) detector for combined imaging and spectroscopy of neutrons and gamma-rays in the MeV range. This activity is part of the R&D work on LXe detectors performed at WIS for the search of dark matter.
Our aim is a detection of hidden explosives and fissile materials in cargo and containers using fast neutrons resonant transmission...

Novel developments in particle detector technology require fast and precise methods to measure large area topologies in the order of a few square meters.
A standard method is a tactile coordinate measurement system. With such a system resolutions of better 10 ยตm are achievable but with relatively long duration
of several hours for one cycle. Sensitive structures may be damaged.
We present a...

The main goal in the HOLMES experiment is the neutrino mass measurement using an array of 1000 microcalorimeters with standard metallic absorber. A good isotope for such measurement is the 163Ho, those isotopes embedded in the metallic absorber will be 1012. Since 163Ho is not available in nature, a dedicated process must be set up to produce the amount needed for this neutrino mass...

Michel Parameters are dimensionless parameters, which describe kinetic nature of lepton's leptonic decay. They have specific values under the assumption of the SM. Hence, measurement of deviation in experiment from the SM values gives hints to new physics.
In this poster, I present current status of Monte Carlo study of the measurement of the Michel Parameter in the radiative decay of tau at...

Particle therapy (PT) is a novel technique that uses accelerated charged particles for cancer treatment.
The PT high irradiation precision and conformity allows the tumor destruction while sparing the surrounding healthy tissues. Monitoring methods using photons and charged particles have already been proposed, but no attempt has yet been made to use the abundant fast neutron component. The...

In present days new neutron detection methods are under development due to the global shortage of 3He and the toxicity of BF3. We present an indirect method based upon detection of photons emitted in neutron reactions such as neutron capture and inelastic scattering. One of the advantages of this approach is that the detector can also be used simultaneously as a gamma spectrometer....

We present the first results of timing and energy resolution of a newly developed 64-channels tile with FBK SiPMs. The tile has dimensions of 32x32 mm2 and it is composed of an array of 8x8 SiPMs, having a regular pitch along the x and y directions of 4 mm. The fill factor at the tile level is 85%. We designed two versions: one with single-ended and the other with differential readout.

In the last years organic scintillators have been largely investigated in order to achieve high light yield together with good time response. It has been showed that pure organic compound with high quality crystalline structure can achieve both this goals. Among a large type of organic compound, para-terphenyl (C18H14) have proven to have practical applications as detector medium for particle...

The coincidence time resolution (CTR) of 511keV gamma detectors is becoming increasingly important for time-of-flight positron emission tomography (TOF-PET) since the additional time information enables further background suppression in the reconstructed image. In this work we present CTR measurements performed with the latest generation FBK SiPMs coupled to LSO:Ce codoped 0.4%Ca crystals. We...

Compared with other type of detectors, CdZnTe(CZT) detectors have their own advantages. CZT has high atomic number of the materials (ZยฌCd=48,ZTe=52) with a high band-gap energy(1.5eV).CZT has a higher detection efficiency for ฮณ compared with scintillator detectors. CZT can be operated at room temperature with no need of cooling compared with high-purity germanium detector. This article...

The use of bent crystals for beam manipulation in particle accelerators is a well-assessed concept rapidly evolving into practical application. Charged particles interacting with a bent crystal can be trapped in channeling states and deflected by the atomic planes of the crystal lattice. One of the possible applications is โsmartโ collimation system for particle accelerators. The experiments...

Proton radiotherapy utilises beams of approximately 200 MeV protons to treat cancer. The dose to healthy tissues before and after the tumour can be significantly lower than with conventional x-ray radiotherapy due to the proton Bragg peak. To ensure the dose is delivered to the correct location three pieces of information are essential: the location and size of the tumour; the position of the...

PET and SPECT achieved great successes in medical imaging. These detectors, however, have energy limitations, which is a problem in designing new-molecular imaging reagents. We have developed an Electron-Tracking Compton Camera (ETCC) to give the wide energy range (200-1500keV), wide field of view (4str) and abilities of background rejection and clear imaging using the tracking of recoil...
