    S4 - Applications
    Oral
    We present a very compact γ-detection module primarily designed for PET applications. On a total area of ≈ 30×30 mm2, 144 SiPM photo detectors coupled to scintillator crystals are read out individually with fast timing ASICs. The core of the module is a LTCC ceramic substrate with internal water channels for efficient and stable liquid cooling. The top side of the LTCC is covered by 12 × 12...

    Oral
    One of the most promising new radiotherapy techniques is using charged particles like protons and carbon ions, rather than photons. At present, there are more than 50 particle therapy centers operating worldwide, and many new centers are being constructed. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is considered a well-established technique to monitor the delivered dose to the patient particle...

  3. 252. An integrated system for the on-line monitoring of particle therapy treatments accuracy
    Elisa Fiorina (TO)

    S4 - Applications
    Oral
    The quality assurance in particle therapy is a still-open issue that can be addressed with reliable monitoring techniques of treatment accuracy. The INSIDE (INnovative SolutIons for DosimEtry in hadrontherapy) project aims at the development of an integrated on-line monitoring system based on a dedicated PET scanner and a tracking system. It is designed to operate in-beam and provide an...

  4. 24. Detection of thermal neutrons using ZnS(Ag):6LiF neutron scintillator readout with WLS fibres and SiPMs
    Dr Malte Hildebrandt (Paul Scherrer Institut)
    26/05/2015, 16:15
    S4 - Applications
    Oral
    We present the development of a multi-channel thermal neutron detection system for the application in neutron scattering experiments. The detection system is based on ZnS(Ag):6LiF scintillation screens which are readout with wavelength shifting (WLS) fibres and Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs). The use of SiPMs in scintillator-based neutron detectors promises several advantages such as a...

  5. 61. Depleted Argon extraction for Dark Matter Searches
    Dr Cristiano Galbiati (Princeton University)
    26/05/2015, 16:35
    S4 - Applications
    Oral
    The DarkSide Collaboration just completed a 7-years effort in collection and purification of underground argon depleted in the radioactive 39Ar, which pollutes atmospheric argon at the level of 1 Bq/kg. I will present the first results of the operation of the DarkSide-50 detector with underground argon. The availability of tonne-scale batches of depleted argon is a key enabling element of...
