Abstract FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) is a nuclear physics experiment currently under construction that will measure differential cross sections for the production of secondary fragments induced by interactions proton and ion beams, up to 400 MeV/u, with human tissues. By extending energy range about 800 also provide data useful radio-protection in space, as understanding fragmentation processes take place spacecraft shieldings crucial their optimisation. The collaboration building...
This paper describes the electronics used for ATLAS monitored drift tube (MDT) chambers. These chambers are main component of precision tracking system in muon spectrometer. The MDT detector consists 1,150 containing a total 354,000 tubes. It is capable measuring sagitta tracks to an accuracy 60 μm, which corresponds momentum about 10% at pT= 1 TeV. design and performance readout as well controlling, monitoring powering will be discussed. have been extensively tested under simulated running...
Tumour control is performed in particle therapy using particles and ions, whose high irradiation precision enhances the effectiveness of treatment, while sparing healthy tissue surrounding target volume.
The detection of photons produced during the avalanche development in gas chambers has been subject detailed studies past. great progresses achieved last years performance micro-pattern detectors on one side and photo-sensors other provide possibility making high granularity very sensitive particle trackers.
Abstract During 2022 data taking (Run III) PADME searched for a resonant production and visible decay of the X17 particle into e + - . A precise knowledge within 1% uncertainty number positrons was required observation. To that purpose, an array 2 × 6 Timepix3 (total 512 1536 pixels) hybrid pixel detectors operated in data-streaming mode with ToA resolution 1.56 ns every employed. Two methods acquisition were developed. frame-based method, integrating hits each individual predefined period...
Introduction: Charged Particle Therapy plays a key role in the treatment of deep-seated tumours, because advantageous energy deposition culminating Bragg peak. However, knowledge dose delivered entrance channel is limited by lack data on beam and fragmentation target. Methods: The FOOT experiment has been designed to measure cross sections nuclear projectile target with two different detectors: an electronic setup for identification Z ≥ 3 fragments emulsion spectrometer ≤ fragments. In this...
We report the 90Sr beta response of a polycrystalline diamond pixel detector fabricated using metal-less graphitic ohmic contacts. Laser induced graphitization was used to realize multiple squared conductive contacts with 1mm???1mm area, 0.2?mm apart, on one side while other side, for biasing, 9mm???9mm large graphite contact realized. A proximity board wire bonding nine pixels at time and evaluate charge collection homogeneity among 36 pixels. Different configurations biasing were...
A detailed knowledge of the light ions interaction processes with matter is great interest in basic and applied physics. As an example, particle therapy space radioprotection require highly accurate fragmentation cross-section measurements to develop shielding materials estimate acute late health risks for manned missions treatment planning therapy. The Fragmentation Ions Relevant Space Therapy experiment at Helmholtz Center Heavy Ion research (GSI) was designed built by international...
Experimental study of the reverse annealing effective concentration ionized space charges (N/sub eff/, also called doping or impurity concentration) neutron irradiated high resistivity silicon detectors fabricated on wafers with various thermal oxides has been conducted at room temperature (RT) and elevated (ET). Various oxidations temperatures ranging from 975/spl deg/C to 1200/spl without trichlorethane (TCA), which result in different concentrations oxygen carbon impurities, have used. It...
The FIRST (Fragmentation of Ions Relevant for Space and Therapy) experiment at GSI has been designed to study carbon fragmentation, measuring 12C double differential cross sections (∂2σ/∂θ∂E) different beam energies between 100 1000 MeV/u. experimental setup integrates newly detectors in the, so called, Interaction Region around the graphite target. upstream are a 250 μm thick scintillator drift chamber optimized precise measurement ions interaction time position on In this article we review...
Particle therapy uses protons or $^{12}$C beams for the treatment of deep-seated solid tumors. Due to features energy deposition charged particles in matter, a limited amount dose is released healthy tissue beam entrance region, while maximum tumor at end range, Bragg peak region. However nuclear interactions between and patient tissues induce fragmentation both projectile target. This has be carefully taken into account since different ions have effectiveness producing biological damage....
Hadrontherapy treatments use charged particles (e.g.protons and carbon ions) to treat tumors.During a therapeutic treatment with ions, the beam undergoes nuclear fragmentation processes giving rise significant yields of secondary particles.An accurate prediction these production rates is necessary estimate precisely dose deposited into tumours surrounding healthy tissues.Nowadays, limited set double differential cross-section available.
