Demonstration of particle tracking with scintillating fibres read out by a SPAD array sensor and application as a neutrino active target

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Paul Mos, Kodai Kaneyasu, Michael Alan Wayne

Scintillating fibre detectors combine sub-mm resolution particle tracking, precise measurements of the particle stopping power and sub-ns time resolution. Typically, fibres are read out with silicon photomultipliers (SiPM). Hence, if fibres with a few hund ...

High-Performance CMOS SPAD-Based Sensors for Time-of-Flight PET Applications

Francesco Gramuglia

Detecting light, photon by photon, has been possible since the 1930s, with the invention of the photomultiplier tube (PMT). However, it is only since the 1970s, that solid-state single-photon detectors have emerged and only since 2003 that a new technology ...

In-vitro and in-silico characterization of zein fiber incorporating cuminaldehyde

Niloufar Sharif

The zein solutions containing different concentrations of cuminaldehyde (5%, 10%, and 20%, w/w) were electrospun. The morphology and average diameter of fibers were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and the optimized fiber (20% cuminaldehyde) was c ...

Dynamic range extension for photon counting arrays

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ivan Michel Antolovic

Confocal microscopes use photomultiplier tubes and hybrid detectors due to their large dynamic range, which typically exceeds the one of single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs). The latter, due to their photon counting operation, are usually limited to an o ...
