Wide bandgap semiconductor detectors

Oral

Detector characterization and instrumentation testing are routinely conducted at synchrotron and cyclotron facilities, many of which were originally designed for medical purposes. In experiments that rely on single-particle resolution—where pileup can severely impact data quality—detailed knowledge of the beam structure is essential for selecting appropriate readout parameters. However, this...

4H silicon carbide (4H-SiC) is emerging as a promising candidate for radiation sensors in high-energy physics, medicine, and high-temperature environments. It offers intrinsically low leakage currents, even after irradiation, together with fast charge-carrier transport and excellent thermal stability. Historically, studies of 4H-SiC detectors were constrained by the limited access to advanced...

Wide bandgap semiconductor detectors

Oral

Wide band-gap (WBG) materials such as GaN and SiC are playing an increasingly important role in modern high-frequency and high-power electronic technologies. As advances in bulk growth continue to lower defect densities and improve crystalline quality, these semiconductors are also emerging as strong contenders for next-generation radiation detectors. Nevertheless, extensive optimisation and...
