Increased concern about nuclear security in recent years has sparked a large effort to discover and develop new high performance radiation detectors for both gamma rays and neutrons. For a number of years, the primary options for gamma-ray detection have relied on: a) high purity germanium detectors with excellent performance but high cost and significant operational burden, b) cadmium zinc...
The projected proton beam intensity of the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), planned to begin operation in 2026, will result in about 200 concurrent proton-proton interactions per 25 ns bunch crossing. The scientific program of the HL-LHC, which includes precision characterization of the Higgs boson, measurements of vector boson scattering, and searches for new heavy or exotic...
The future generation of radiation detectors is more and more demanding on timing performance for a wide range of applications, such as time of flight (TOF) techniques for PET cameras and particle identification in nuclear physics and high energy physics detectors, precise event time tagging in high luminosity accelerators and a number of photonic applications based on single photon...
