Abstract:

Vacuum is essential in particle accelerators. Low gas density allows charged particles beams to circulate without excessive losses. Indeed, beam losses are detrimental for instrumentation; they increase induced radioactivity, background noise in particle detectors, and beam-induced heat loads to cryogenic equipment.

Abstract The extremely low dark current of silicon carbide (SiC) detectors, even after high-fluence irradiation, was utilized to develop a beam monitoring system for a wide range of particle rates, i.e., from the kHz to the GHz regime. The system is completely built from off-the-shelf components and is focused on compactness and simple deployment. Beam tests using a 50 um thick SiC detector reveal, that for low fluences, single particles can be detected and counted. For higher fluences, beam properties were extracted from beam cross sections using a silicon strip detector. Overall, accurate re

Abstract This work investigates the operational acquisition time limits of Timepix3 and Timepix2 detectors operated in frame mode for high-count rate of high deposited energy transfer particles. Measurements were performed using alpha particles from a 241Am laboratory source and proton and carbon ion beams from a synchrotron accelerator. The particle count rate upper limit is determined by overlapping per-pixel particle signals, identifiable by the hits per pixel counter > 2, indicating the need to decrease acquisition time. On the other hand, the lower limit is the time required to collect

Abstract Hadron calorimeters are one of the most important detectors in the contemporary nuclear and particle physics experiments.

MicroMegas detectors are versatile gaseous detectors which are used for ionizing particle detection. A MicroMegas detector consists of two adjacent gas-filled volumes.

The use of the microbulk technique allows the production of thin, radiation resistant, and low-mass detector with a highly variable gain.

Particle therapy is a well established clinical treatment of tumors. More than one hundred particle therapy centers are in operation world-wide.

To guarantee this, high accuracy in monitoring and control of the particle beam is of the utmost importance.

Abstract:

Abstract The High Granularity Timing Detector (HGTD) will be installed in the ATLAS experiment to mitigate pile-up effects during the High Luminosity (HL) phase of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGADs) will provide high-precision measurements of the time of arrival of particles at the HGTD, improving the particle-vertex assignment. To cope with the high-radiation environment, LGADs have been optimized by adding carbon in the gain layer, thus reducing the acceptor removal rate after irradiation. Performances of several carbon-enriched LGAD sensors from di

Abstract:

Abstract The Multi-TeV Muon Collider will allow significant advancement in particle physics and in the understanding of its Standard Model for the era after the High-Luminosity LHC. The Muon Collider physics program involves precise Higgs boson sector measurements and TeV-scale new physics exploration. These goals demand accurate full-event reconstruction. The Particle Flow algorithm, which utilizes tracking, calorimeter, and muon detectors, is ideal for identifying and precisely estimating particle momenta/energies and can accomplish this task.

Abstract:

Abstract In recent years, there has been a significant focus on improving the effectiveness of radiotherapy (RT) and particle therapy in treating tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. A promising development is offered by the observation of the so-called FLASH effect, where ultra-high dose rates delivered in a short time have shown to protect healthy tissues while maintaining anti-tumor efficacy. However, conventional detectors face challenges in monitoring charged beams at these ultra-high dose rates due to non-linear effects. To address this challenge, the FlashDC (Flash Detector

Abstract A goal of the nowadays cancer radiotherapy treatment would be to reduce the healthy tissue damage, while maximizing the cancer disruption. Among the different possibilities, X-rays have been widely used during the irradiation for tumor cells killing, but they have manifested to damage healthy tissue. On the other hand, it was shown that the irradiation with charged particles (such as protons, alphas, carbon ions) allows a more precise definition of the deposited energy in the tumor cells, saving the healthy tissues.

Abstract:

Improved environmental-particle analysis for safeguards is a continuing research goal. In this paper, we propose a modified method of fission-track analysis, employing the focused ion-beam (FIB) technique and using a single-crystal silicon substrate to carry dust particles. The use of a silicon substrate may eliminate the need to relocate identified particles of interest from the particle carrier to another substrate for mass-spectrometric analysis. FIB–SEM and SIMS were used to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed FTA method.
