Characterization of a flexible a-Si:H detector for in vivo dosimetry in therapeutic x-ray beams

Sylvain Dunand, Jonathan Emanuel Thomet, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Matthew James Large

BackgroundThe increasing use of complex and high dose-rate treatments in radiation therapy necessitates advanced detectors to provide accurate dosimetry. Rather than relying on pre-treatment quality assurance (QA) measurements alone, many countries are now ...

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 ...

Radiation Hardness Study of Single-Photon Avalanche Diode for Space and High Energy Physics Applications

Edoardo Charbon, Emanuele Ripiccini, Ming-Lo Wu, Ekin Kizilkan, Pouyan Keshavarzian, Francesco Gramuglia, Kazuhiro Morimoto, Carlo Alberto Fenoglio

The radiation hardness of 180 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) and 55 nm bipolar-CMOS-double-diffused MOS single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) is studied using 10 MeV and 100 MeV protons up to a displacement damage dose of 1 PeV/g. It is ...

High-Resolution Photoemission Study of Neutron-Induced Defects in Amorphous Hydrogenated Silicon Devices

Sylvain Dunand, Matthew James Large, Giulia Rossi

In this paper, by means of high-resolution photoemission, soft X-ray absorption and atomic force microscopy, we investigate, for the first time, the mechanisms of damaging, induced by neutron source, and recovering (after annealing) of p-i-n detector devic ...

Testing of planar hydrogenated amorphous silicon sensors with charge selective contacts for the construction of 3D-detectors

Sylvain Dunand, Matthew James Large

Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon (a-Si:H) is a well known material for its intrinsic radiation hardness and is primarily utilized in solar cells as well as for particle detection and dosimetry. Planar p-i-n diode detectors are fabricated entirely by means of ...

Extension of miniature neutron scintillators features in CROCUS: novel acquisition scheme and extended flux range

Colin Rochat

The goal of this work was the improvement of the capabilities of a miniature neutron detector, for easing its use, and extending its range of applicability. Firstly, the Red Pitaya STEMlab 125-14 was the object of an exploratory study in order to propose a ...

Sensitivity of the SHiP experiment to dark photons decaying to a pair of charged particles

Lesya Shchutska, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Elena Graverini, Alexey Boyarsky, Federico Leo Redi, Maria Elena Stramaglia, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Nikolaos Charitonidis, Jean-Loup Tastet, Ekaterina Kuznetsova, Hans Dijkstra, Anton Petrov, Sergei Smirnov

Dark photons are hypothetical massive vector particles that could mix with ordinary photons. The simplest theoretical model is fully characterised by only two parameters: the mass of the dark photon m(gamma)D and its mixing parameter with the photon, epsil ...
