An ambitious project of the CzechInvest agency implemented with financial support from the state budget through the Ministry of Industry and Trade in the programme The Country for the Future.
Without supporting high disruptive start-ups in the Czech Republic. Our goal is to seek out and help create companies/projects that are exceptionally innovative, feasible and scalable.
Low and high energy radiation resistance behaviour of synthetic compounds to immobilize HLWs is made out on zirconolites for radiation and thermal stability besides high loading capacity on incorporation of lanthanides and actinides, maintaining crystallinity of host element. Nuclear energy significantly contributes to global energy needs from low carbon emissions providing clean environment...
Muon tomography has emerged as a powerful technique for non-invasive imaging in various fields, including nuclear security, geology, and archaeology. For ten years, genetic multiplexed resistive Micromegas (MultiGen) detectors, invented at CEA/Irfu, have been developed for muon tomography, aiming to enhance imaging resolution and efficiency. MultiGen detectors provide telescopes with high...
The ``Laser-hybrid Accelerator for Radiobiological Applications'', LhARA, is being developed to serve the Ion Therapy Research Facility (ITRF). ITRF/LhARA will be a novel, uniquely-flexible facility dedicated to the study of the biological impact of proton and ion beams. The technologies that will be demonstratedcan be developed to transform the clinical practice of proton and ion beam...
We discuss the use of Low Gain Avalanche (LGAD) silicon detectors for two specific applications, namely measuring cosmic rays in space in collaboration with NASA and beam properties and doses for patients undergoing cancer treatment in flash beam therapy. For the first time, the use of LGADs and fast sampling electronics will be used in space in order to identify the type of particles in...
Since 1960s nuclear polarised targets have been an essential tools for study of spin structure of nucleons. The solid state polarised targets make use of the Dynamic Nuclear Polarisation (DNP). Spin physics observables strongly depend on the degree of nuclear polarisation. This is similar issue for the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and NMR Imaging, where the sensitivity also strongly...
Scintillation materials can convert high-energy rays into visible light. Compared with crystal scintillator, the glass scintillator has many advantages, such as a simple preparation process, low cost and continuously adjustable components. Therefore, glass scintillator has long been conceived for application in the nuclear detection such as hadronic calorimeter. Given the deficiency of the...
Photographic films are still used in a number of medical and industrial x-ray imaging applications need to reconstruct an image on a flexibile surface. We will present the FleX-RAY project, which aims to create an electronic X-ray detector with the flexibility of photographic film, suitable for a variety of applications.
FleX-RAY uses a sheet of flexible scintillating fibers to detect...
This study explores the possibility of employing pure cesium iodide (CsI) crystals for a total-body positron emission tomography (TB-PET) device. When operated at cryogenic temperatures, these crystals exhibit an excellent light yield, up to 120 photons/keV, which is approximately four times larger than LYSO. Although CsI has a slightly smaller stopping power and a slower decay time compared...
The CREMA project investigates channeling for low energy carbon ions interacting with bent crystals in
the hundreds MeV/u energy range. The experimental setup to assess the process efficiency will be operated
in the experimental area (XPR) of the CNAO accelerator complex in Pavia (Italy). The project's aim consists on
optimising a bent crystal that could be installed at a later stage in a...
Next generation high energy physics experiments will feature high-granularity detectors with thousands of readout channels, thus requiring ASICs (low power and dimension).
CAEN FrontEnd Readout System (FERS) integrates ASICs on small, synchronizable and distributable systems with Front and Back Ends. The A5203 FERS houses the recently released CERN picoTDC ASIC and provides high-resolution...
The ATLAS experiment is gearing up for the HL-LHC upgrade, with an all-silicon Inner Tracker (ITk). The ITk will feature a pixel detector surrounded by a strip detector, with the strip system consisting of 4 barrel layers and 6 endcap disks. The strip tracker will consist of 11,000 silicon sensor modules in the central region and 7,000 modules in the end-cap region, which are mounted onto...
Water distribution systems can experience high levels of leakage, causing financial losses, supply problems, as well as being a risk for public health.
In this talk we present a non-invasive water leakage detection technique based on cosmic ray neutrons, that exploits the difference in the above ground thermal neutron flux between dry and wet soil conditions. The potential of the technique...
