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 ...

Review of amorphous silicon based particle detectors: the quest for single particle detection

Christophe Ballif

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) is attractive for radiation detectors because of its radiation resistance and processability over large areas with mature Si microfabrication techniques. While the use of a-Si:H for medical imaging has been very succ ...

Quenching the scintillation in CF4 Cherenkov gas radiator

Christoph Frei

CF4 is used as a Cherenkov gas radiator in one of the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors at the LHCb experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. CF4 is well known to have a high scintillation photon yield in the near and far VUV, UV and in the visible wave ...

Microfluidic Scintillation Detectors for High Energy Physics

Pietro Maoddi

This thesis deals with the development and study of microfluidic scintillation detectors, a technology of recent introduction for the detection of high energy particles. Most of the interest for such devices comes from the use of a liquid scintillator, whi ...

Advances in digital SiPMs and their application in biomedical imaging

Edoardo Charbon

Similar to analog silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), digital SiPMs (dSiPMs) essentially consist of an array of single-photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs). Instead of a passive quench resistor, however, an active quenching circuit is locally integrated with ...

SPADnet: Embedded coincidence in a smart sensor network for PET applications

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Gabor Nemeth

n this paper we illustrate the core technologies at the basis of the European SPADnet project (www.spadnet.eu), and present the corresponding first results. SPADnet is aimed at a new generation of MRI-compatible, scalable large area image sensors, based on ...
