Particle therapy is an established method to treat deep-seated tumours, using accelerator-produced ion beams. For treatment planning, the precise knowledge of the stopping power (SP) within the patient is vital. Conversion errors from x-ray CT measurements to SP introduce uncertainties in the applied dose distribution. Using a proton Computed Tomography (pCT) system to directly measure the SP...

The advanced imaging and accelerator techniques in proton therapy allow conformal high dose irradiation of tumors with precision using pencil beam scanning or beam shaping apertures. These irradiation methods increasingly include small radiation fields with large dose gradients, which require the development of small field dosimetry systems with high spatial resolution for quality...

The detection of natural radio-nuclides is of interest in several applications, for example for natural environmental monitoring or for the identification and tracing of illegal radioactive materials. We designed and developed a camera for gamma-ray imaging based on the coded mask technique. The camera proposed is a compact instrument, ideal for real-time analysis, with a low power...

Due to the advantageous characteristics of charged particles' energy deposition in matter, protons in the energy range of 70-230 MeV or $^{12}$C beams with energy up to 400 MeV/u are used in hadrotherapy to treat deep-seated solid tumors. Using these beams, the maximum of the dose is released to the tumor tissues at the end of the beam range. In this process nevertheless, fragmentation of both...

We propose a novel detector for quality assurance in hadron therapy, for which an accurate dose calculation and verification with high spatial accuracy are required. For this purpose, a promising tool is the GEMPix detector, which combines a triple GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) and a quad Timepix ASIC used as highly pixelated readout. The GEMPix (active area 28x28 mm2) is capable of providing...

Muography (or muon radiography) is a recent inspection methodology that uses cosmic muons to investigate the mass distribution in large objects, such as volcanoes or mines, or to detect the presence of cavities in the subsoil or within buildings such as the pyramids. In recent years detectors with different geometries, sizes and technologies have been developed. In particular detectors with...

Muography is a novel imaging technology to reveal density structure of hill-sized objects. The cosmic muons lose slowly their energy and penetrate hundreds of meters into the ground, thus their differential local flux correlates with the density-lenght they traveled through.
Exploiting the high flux around the zenith the imaging of the internal structure of hills could be done underground....

Muon Radiography is a technique based on the measurement of the absorption degree of cosmic ray muons as they pass through rocks to investigate the interior of large scale bodies, such as pyramids, volcanoes, little hills and others.

The Curious Cryogenic Fish (CCF) Project aims to develop a robotic device able to operate in large cryostats while filled. The goal is to perform visual inspections, environmental measurements and simple repair tasks, integrating the functionalities of a diagnostic station with the flexibility of an unmanned vehicle.

A new challenge in particle physics is neutron detection. Innovative detection techniques are needed for the application in this field, e.g. radioactive waste monitor homeland security applications, scanner with neutron scattering. Gaseous detector together with a proper converter can be used for these purposes; a boron coated cathode converts the neutron and the products are detected with...
