In view of the High Luminosity upgrade CERN LHC, forward CMS Muon spectrometer will be extended with two new stations improved Resistive Plate Chambers (iRPC) covering pseudorapidity range from 1.8 to 2.4. Compared present RPC system, gap thickness is reduced lower avalanche charge, and an innovative 2D strip readout geometry proposed. These improvements allow iRPC detector cope higher background rates. A Front-End-Board (FEB) designed signals a threshold as low 30 fC integrated Time Digital...
Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an innovative binary form of radiation with high selectivity towards cancer tissue based on the reaction 10B(n,α)7Li, consisting in exposition patients to beams after administration a boron compound preferential accumulation cells. The linear energy transfer products ensuing deposit their at cell level, sparing normal tissue. Although progress accelerator-based BNCT has led renewed interest this treatment modality, vivo dose monitoring...
In high-energy physics, resistive plate chamber (RPC) detectors operating in avalanche mode make use of a high-performance gas mixture. Its main component, Tetrafluoroethane (C2H2F4), is classified as fluorinated greenhouse gas. The RPC EcoGas@GIF++ collaboration pursuing an intensive R&D on new mixtures for RPCs to explore eco-friendly alternatives complying with recent European regulations. performance different has been evaluated at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility...
The $^{10}\mathrm{B}+^{197}\mathrm{Au}$ reaction has been investigated through cross-section measurements for different channels, such as quasielastic and elastic scattering, inelastic excitation of low-lying $^{197}\mathrm{Au}$ states, one-neutron pickup one-proton stripping transfer reactions. Experimental angular distributions were obtained 20 bombardment energies around the Coulomb barrier: $38\ensuremath{\le}{E}_{lab}\ensuremath{\le}61\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{MeV}$.

The major upgrade of the energy and intensity existing ISOLDE REX-ISOLDE radioactive ion beam facilities at CERN requires replacement most post-acceleration equipment by a superconducting linac based on quarter-wave resonators housed together with solenoids in series four high-β two low-β cryo-modules. As well as providing optimum conditions for physics, cryo-modules need to function under stringent vacuum cryogenic conditions. We present detail design expected performance high- β...
Abstract The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment will undergo phase-II upgrade to enhance the capacity of detectors in High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider era. An important extension involves installation Improved Resistive Plate Chambers (iRPC) most forward part endcap muon system. iRPC detector addresses efficiency drop experienced by current CMS trigger system for single triggers high pseudorapidity region. It features a double-ended read-out method, allowing determination hit...
The HL-LHC phase will be a challenge for the existing CMS RPC system, as expected operating conditions are much higher with respect to those which detectors have been designed. In addition, this could introduce non-recoverable aging effects, can alter detector properties. A longevity test is therefore needed estimate impact of on performance. This allow validation system harsher background conditions. dedicated long-term irradiation program, designed emulate operational conditions, started...
