We propose an optimization system for a Parallel-Plate Avalanche Counter with Optical Readout designed for heavy-ion tracking and imaging. Exploiting differentiable programming, we model the reconstruction of the position for different detector configurations and build an optimization cycle that minimizes an objective function. We analyze the performance improvement using this method,...
Metallic-magnetic calorimeters (MMCs) - like the maXs-detector series developed within the SPARC collaboration - have become a promising new tool for high precision X-ray spectroscopy. Because of their unique working principles, MMCs combine several advantages over conventional energy- and wavelength-dispersive photon detectors. They can reach spectral resolving powers of up to $E / \Delta E...
One of the primary challenges for future nuclear fusion power plants is understanding how neutron irradiation affects reactor materials. To tackle this issue, the IFMIF-DONES project aims to build a facility capable of generating a neutron source in order to irradiate different material samples. This will be achieved by colliding a deuteron beam with a lithium jet. In this work, within the...
In the HypHI project, which started in 2006 at GSI-FAIR, we aim to study proton- and neutron-rich hypernuclei produced in the ion-induced collisions. The successful observation of light hypernuclei in the 6Li – 12C collisions during our first experimental campaign in 2009 – 2010 has paved a new way to study these bound states of protons, neutrons, and hyperons [1]. For future experiments, both...
