    Oral

    Neutron imaging provides information on materials and structures otherwise opaque to X-rays. Neutron sensors with high spatial resolution and high efficiency find application on disparate number of fields.
    The detection of neutrons by using semiconductor materials, that are are not sensitive to neutrons, act by using converter materials that can emit light, charged particles, gamma-rays or...

    The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a proposal for the Medium Size Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array that is based on a two-mirror optical system designed to improve the telescope field of view and image resolution with respect to the single mirror Davies-Cotton solution. The SCT camera is planned to be instrumented with 177 photodetection modules, each composed of 64 Silicon...

    In hadron therapy a highly conformed irradiation field is delivered to the target by moving the beam and modulating its energy.
    Treatment plans require precisely measured patients' Relative (to water) Stopping Power (RSP) maps, which are currently extracted from X-rays tomographies. This translation unavoidably introduces uncertainties in the determination of the RSP maps.
    The employment of...

    Oral

    Since the 90's almost every astro-particle experiment operating in space included a tracker.
    The requirements in terms of spatial resolution depend on the type of tracker: 10 $\mu$m or less for a spectrometric detector and 30-40 $\mu$m or even more for a gamma-ray tracker-converter or for a calorimetric experiment. With a total available powers of few hundreds of Watts and tens of m$^2$ of...

    Oral

    The measurement of proton and light nuclei fragmentation cross sections with energies up to $400 \ MeV/A$, which is relevant for improving treatment-planning systems in hadron therapy, is the primary goal of the FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) experiment. FOOT will use an inverse-kinematic approach profiting from the Lorentz boost to detect nuclear fragments that would otherwise stop in the...
