Session 1: Introduction
- Hartmut Sadrozinski (University of California,Santa Cruz (US))
Many challenges in radiotherapy with ions and in space radioprotection are related to the investigation of the same nuclear processes and require similar experimental setups to be tackled. The Theoretical Institute for Fundamental Physics Applications (TIFPA) in Trento, Italy, focuses its research on these two fields and can take advantage of the Trento protontherapy center, where it...
HVCMOS sensors employ depleted diodes as sensor elements. HVCMOS sensors have a high time resolution and a good radiation tolerance. Several large area prototypes have been designed and tested recently. The application of these sensors are particle physics experiments such as Mu3e and ATLAS. Novel electronic blocks such as fast data transmitters, waveform sampling circuits, data reduction...
At present most experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
are planning upgrades in the next 5-10 years for their innermost
tracking layers as well as luminosity monitors to be able to take data
as the luminosity increases and CERN moves toward the High Luminosity-LHC
(HL-LHC). These upgrades will require radiation tolerant technologies up
to a total fluence of ~2x10$^{16}$...
Thin Low Gain Avalanche Detectors suitable for timing applications at LHC were produced along the control samples by CNM and FBK. The effects of radiation on gain were studied after reactor neutron and 200 MeV pion irradiations. A significant decrease of charge was observed after irradiation in line with previous measurements pointing to the decrease of electric field in the multiplication...
The first part of the contribution will be devoted to description of the family of Medipix/ Timepix semiconductor pixel detectors including the corresponding R/O electronics. A short demonstration of capabilities of the devices for high resolution (micrometric and nearly nanometric) radiography and 3D imaging by means of X-rays and neutrons will follow. Also the ability of Timepix pixel...
