Recent developments in semiconductor pixel detectors allow for a new generation of positron-emission tomography (PET) scanners that, in combination with advanced image reconstruction algorithms, will allow for a few hundred microns spatial resolutions. Such novel scanners will pioneer ultra-high-resolution molecular imaging, a field that is expected to have an enormous impact in several...
As the module production for the ATLAS ITk Pixel detector approaches, prototype modules are scrutinised with test-beam particles to measure their properties. First results are presented of the reconstruction and analysis of these test-beam data for modules built with four front-end chips attached to a single sensor, called quad modules. The challenges of analysing data from quad modules are...
Penetrating particle Analyzer (PAN) is an instrument designed to be used in deep space and interplanetary missions. It can precisely measure and monitor the flux, composition, and direction of highly penetrating particles in the effective range between 100 MeV/nucleon and 10 GeV/nucleon. It is a versatile device, which can potentially have an application in cosmic ray physics, solar physics,...
