The 100µPET project, led by the University of Geneva, the University of Luzern, and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, aims at the development of a small-animal positron-emission tomography (PET) scanner with ultra-high-resolution molecular imaging capabilities. This is achieved through the use of a compact, modular stack of multiple thin layers of monolithic pixel detectors and...
Introduction:
A normal tissue sparing effect (FLASH effect) has been observed in Ultra-High Dose-Rate electron and proton irradiation (UHDR). In this extreme regime, conventional transmission chambers show non-linear effects due to very high flux of particles. Therefore, the real time beam monitoring in UHDR requires the adaptation of detector technologies and the investigation of new...
Semiconductor detectors are a popular choice in many areas of physics because of their flexibility. One possible technology of semiconductor detectors is silicon strip detectors (SSDs): by means of segmenting readout electrodes in the form of thin, long strips, it is possible to measure several properties of charged particles, keeping under control the number of channels.
The ability to...
Introduction:
The single particle tracking is a demanding task in clinical particle beams due to the high instantaneous fluence rate, up to $10^{10}$ protons/cm$^{2}$·s and $10^{8}$ carbon ions/cm$^{2}$·s. The aim of a fast and accurate (< 1% uncertainty) single particle counter is to overcome the slow charge collection times (hundreds of microseconds) and low sensitivity (thousands of...
The FASER experiment at the LHC will be instrumented with a high precision W-Si preshower to identify and reconstruct electromagnetic showers produced by two O(TeV) photons at distances down to 200µm. The new detector features a monolithic silicon ASIC with hexagonal pixels of 100 µm pitch, extended dynamic range for the charge measurement and capability to store the charge information for...
