Description
Quality assurance (QA) of accelerated particle beams is of utmost importance for scientific experiments and beyond, notably in the medical field.
Position sensitive silicon detectors offer the possibility to image beams and have a full characterization in terms of spatial profile, intensity and energy. However, being interceptive, their use is likely to be limited to QA before & after the physics run/planned irradiation.
A few exemplary illustrations are presented, together with a perspective for future developments.
