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

Sylvain Dunand, Nicolas Würsch, Luca Massimiliano Antognini, Jonathan Emanuel Thomet, 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 ...

Innovative dud detection based on JET DT experience

Olivier Sauter, Alessandro Pau

DT operations at JET gave a unique and invaluable opportunity to design, develop and test real -time controllers that will be applied in future burning plasma devices, as ITER and SPARC. Among them, the dud detector [L. Piron et al. 2019 Fusion Eng. Design ...

Radiation-tolerant Multichannel Dew Point Temperature Monitoring System for High Energy Physics Applications

Amar Kapic

The next generation of high-energy physics (HEP) detectors will predominantly be silicon-based. As pixel sensor technology gains momentum and the number of channels surpasses one billion (for a volume of approximately 20 m3) to achieve the high resolution ...

A comprehensive analysis of electron emission from a-Si:H/Al2O3 at low energies

Christophe Ballif, Nicolas Würsch, Jonathan Emanuel Thomet, Janina Christine Isabelle Löffler, Samira Alexandra Frey, Mohamed Belhaj

Recently developed microchannel plates (MCPs) based on amorphous silicon offer potential advantages with respect to glass based ones. In this context, secondary electron emission (SEE) at very low energies below 100 eV has been studied for relevant materia ...

PET REBINNING WITH REGULARIZED DENSITY SPLINES

Michaël Unser

PET reconstruction algorithms have long relied on sinogram rebinning. However, as detectors grow smaller in a recent wave of cutting-edge scanners, individual sensors no longer accrue hundreds of photons. Instead, most detect a single photon or none at all ...

Thermal and humidity monitoring in "Cold" silicon-based high energy physics detectors

Sandro Carrara, Andromachi Tsirou, Amar Kapic

As high readout channel density and compact design become the norm for HEP detectors so is the detector cooling at temperatures below the experimental site dewpoint. This increases the importance of humidity and temperature monitoring systems that are also ...

A Maximum-Likelihood-Based Two-User Receiver for LoRa Chirp Spread-Spectrum Modulation

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Orion Afisiadis, Joachim Tobias Tapparel, Mathieu Pierre Xhonneux

Long Range (LoRa) is an emerging low-power wide-area network technology offering long-range wireless connectivity to Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For energy efficiency reasons, LoRa end nodes implement a nonslotted ALOHA multiple access scheme to tran ...

Design of a low-loss hybrid silicon-organic terahertz field detector

Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus, Alessandro Tomasino, Francesco Bertot

We propose an innovative design for an integrated, low-loss on-chip terahertz (THz) field detector based on hybrid silicon-organic slot waveguides and THz antennas. We perform a numerical study of the dependency of electro-optic interaction on geometrical ...

Selective area epitaxy of GaAs: the unintuitive role of feature size and pitch

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Lucas Güniat, Didem Dede, Valerio Piazza, Martin George Friedl, Elif Nur Dayi, Nicholas Paul Morgan, Akshay Balgarkashi, Vladimir Dubrovskii

Selective area epitaxy (SAE) provides the path for scalable fabrication of semiconductor nanostructures in a device-compatible configuration. In the current paradigm, SAE is understood as localized epitaxy, and is modelled by combining planar and self-asse ...
