In recent years, various gamma-ray visualization techniques (gamma camera) have been proposed. These techniques are extremely effective for identification of “hot spots,” i.e., regions where radioactive isotopes accumulate in nuclear disaster-affected areas in Fukushima and around a nuclear reactor. However, the images acquired with a gamma camera do not include the distance information...

After the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident, the public necessity
increases to measure and identify the radioactive isotopes from the
environment. Although Ge detectors are powerful with the high energy
resolution, it is too expensive (and heavy) to be used widely.
Therefore, we developed an inexpensive portable compact gamma-ray
spectrometer with the combination of CsI(Tl) scintillator...

A hybrid pixel detector working in the single photon counting mode was designed for the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) in China. Aiming for diffraction and protein crystallography applications, the pixel readout chip works in single photon counting mode in each pixel. It contains an array of 104 × 72 pixels with a pixel size of 150µm×150µm, each owning a counting depth of 20bit. Different...

The unprecedented features of X-ray free electron lasers, capable of producing photon pulses with outstanding brightness and ultra-short duration, promise to revolutionise a number of research fields, including structural biology and chemistry, material science and nuclear and molecular physics. Specific instrumentation needs to be designed and fabricated to comply with the demanding...

Due to the possibility of offering stronger data processing ability, 65 nm CMOS technology is being studied for the perspective of replacing the widely used 130 nm CMOS technology in CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). For electronics working under High Energy Physics (HEP) environments, the target has now been raised up to 1 Grad(SiO2) for the electronics in the LHC upgrade, which is the...

Real-time gamma imaging during particle therapy is expected to improve the accuracy of the therapy. A Compton camera is a promising detector for online monitoring during the particle therapy because it is capable of conducting measurements across a wide energy range, measuring not only the annihilation gamma rays (511 keV) but also a part of the prompt gamma rays. In this study, we...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful medical imaging method, which requires a precise measurement of two coincident low energy photons, with great spatial and time resolution. We present a plan to build a novel compact PET detector system based on pixel silicon detectors developed for ATLAS Phase-II upgrade which will achieve. A time resolution of the order of 30 ps for optimal...

For many years, silicon micro-strip detectors have been successfully used as tracking detectors for particle and nuclear physics experiments. A new application of this technology is to the field of particle therapy where radiotherapy is carried out by use of charged particles such as protons or carbon ions. Such a treatment has been shown to have advantages over standard x-ray radiotherapy and...

The LHCb detector performs searches for New Physics in CP-violating observables and rare heavy-quark decays at the LHC. A comprehensive upgrade is planned for the long shutdown of the LHC in 2018/19. A goal of this upgrade is to abolish hardware triggers and read out the full detector at 40 MHz. This requires to replace the existing TT station upstream of the LHCb magnet by a new silicon...
