    During energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction, the sample is irradiated with a pencil beam generated by a standard polychromatic X-ray tube without any spectral filtering. Two-dimensional polychromatic diffraction images are acquired using a Timepix 3 quad CdTe detector with a central aperture to allow the pencil beam to pass through without parasitic interaction. The detector, equipped with a...

    Introduction

    Delivering Carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) at consistently high accuracies throughout a multi-week treatment remains challenging in clinical practice. Even though the dose conformity of CIRT is exceptionally high, it always relates to the last known factual state of the patientโ€™s anatomy, which gets increasingly uncertain the more time has passed since the Computed Tomography...

    In order to accurately characterize the flux of primary particles in medical accelerators, the signals of events due to primary and secondary particles need to be discriminated. Irradiation experiments often require high precise environment, in which the impact of secondary particles, generated downstream a beam dump or pin-hole configuration need to be considered.

    Scientific and engineering efforts in radiology aim to provide high-uality images at the lowest possible radiation dose. When this principle is applied to industrial imaging, the low-dose requirement can be interpreted as low-power operation of the x-ray source. Inspection of printed circuit boards (PCBs) requires real-time, prolonged operation of x-ray imaging systems; therefore,...

    The CMS Muon system is undergoing significant upgrades in preparation of the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) operation, in order to maintain excellent performance in unprecedented collision rates. The electronics of the Cathode Strip Chambers (CSCs) are therefore being upgraded, and the new complementary Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detectors are being installed. One of the new GEM stations,...

    The CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to perform precision measurements and to explore new physics in high energy protonโ€“proton collisions. The performance of its tracking system is essential for the overall physics reach of the experiment, e.g. providing accurate vertex reconstruction and the precise measurement of the momentum of the charged particle. The upcoming...

    The SHiP/NA67 experiment aims to search for feebly interacting GeV-scale new particles and to perform all-flavor neutrino-physics measurements at the HI-ECN3 beam facility at the CERN SPS. The collaboration is currently optimising the experiment's initial configuration for the commissioning and first physics runs of 2032-2033.
    The detector subsystems comprise a few large-area instruments: for...

    Decay spectroscopy with radioactive ion beams (RIBs) is a key tool for investigating nuclear structure far from stability and for constraining nucleosynthesis processes. Experiments at FAIR, particularly within the DESPEC setup, rely on highly segmented active stoppers such as AIDA to correlate ion implantation with subsequent ฮฒ decays. However, present systems based on double-sided silicon...

    The Minimum Ionising Particle Timing Detector (MTD) is a new addition to the apparatus of the CMS experiment for the High Luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) starting in 2030. Providing precise time-of-arrival information will significantly increase the efficiency of the CMS experiment in reconstructing individual proton-proton collisions in the high โ€œpile-upโ€ environment of...

    The security industry uses a wide range of detector technologies for various applications, primarily cargo and vehicle inspection and baggage and parcel inspection. This discussion focuses specifically on cargo and vehicle inspection. A wide range of detectors are required to be able to detect the vast range of anomalies and threats that can appear in cargo and vehicles. Two primary x-ray...

    Radioisotope (RI) tracers are powerful tools for noninvasively visualizing and quantifying the translocation, allocation, and accumulation of substances, and are widely used not only in medicine and materials science but also in agricultural research. In plant studies, imaging using RI tracers such as ยนยนC, ยนยณN, and ยฒยฒNa combined with positron-emitting tracer imaging system (PETIS) enables...

    At Eindhoven University of Technology, a tabletop x-ray source based on inverse Compton scattering (ICS) has recently been commissioned. In the ICS process monochromatic x-rays are produced by colliding relativistic electron bunches with intense laser pulses. This compact and tunable source holds the promise of a performance in between small-scale x-ray tubes and large-scale synchrotron light...

    MOTIVATION:
    Carbon-ion radiotherapy is a powerful modality for the precise treatment of tumors located deep within the body, particularly when they are situated in close proximity to critical structures such as the brainstem, spinal cord, or optic pathways. The advantageous sharp focusing of the treatment dose to the tumor, however, results in a high sensitivity to beam range uncertainties...

    X-ray radiography visualizes the objectโ€™s internal structure through the absorption contrast that is given by the object's variations in density and composition. In comparison, X-ray diffraction (XRD) probes the objects crystal structure itself. XRD is constructive interference of elastically scattered X-rays on the electron shell of the constituent atoms of the crystal where the position of...

    Hyperspectral Xโ€‘ray imaging has the potential to enable quantitative material discrimination, chemical decomposition, and concentration measurements based on spectral attenuation behavior.
    We investigate how recorded X ray beam spectra are modified by material attenuation and how detector and processing related effects influence spectrally resolved attenuation measurements in hyperspectral...
