The thermal triple-axis-spectrometer EIGER at the continuous spallation source SINQ

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow

EIGER is the new thermal triple-axis-spectrometer at the continuous spallation SINQ at PSI. The shielding of the monochromator consists only of non- or low magnetizable materials, which allows the use of strong magnetic fields with the instrument. This shi ...

Development of TORCH readout electronics for customised MCPs

Christoph Frei

The TORCH detector is being developed for low-momentum particle identification, combining time-of-flight and Cherenkov techniques to achieve charged particle pi/K/p separation up to 10 GeV/c over a flight distance of 10m. This requires a timing resolution ...

Review of amorphous silicon based particle detectors: the quest for single particle detection

Christophe Ballif, Nicolas Würsch

Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) is attractive for radiation detectors because of its radiation resistance and processability over large areas with mature Si microfabrication techniques. While the use of a-Si:H for medical imaging has been very succ ...

Single Photon Counting UV Solar-Blind Detectors Using Silicon and III-Nitride Materials

Edoardo Charbon, Preethi Padmanabhan

Ultraviolet (UV) studies in astronomy, cosmology, planetary studies, biological and medical applications often require precision detection of faint objects and in many cases require photon-counting detection. We present an overview of two approaches for ac ...

Quenching the scintillation in CF4 Cherenkov gas radiator

Christoph Frei

CF4 is used as a Cherenkov gas radiator in one of the Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors at the LHCb experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. CF4 is well known to have a high scintillation photon yield in the near and far VUV, UV and in the visible wave ...

Microfluidic Scintillation Detectors for High Energy Physics

Pietro Maoddi

This thesis deals with the development and study of microfluidic scintillation detectors, a technology of recent introduction for the detection of high energy particles. Most of the interest for such devices comes from the use of a liquid scintillator, whi ...

Advances in digital SiPMs and their application in biomedical imaging

Edoardo Charbon

Similar to analog silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), digital SiPMs (dSiPMs) essentially consist of an array of single-photon avalanche photodiodes (SPADs). Instead of a passive quench resistor, however, an active quenching circuit is locally integrated with ...

Concept of a multichannel spin-resolving electron analyzer based on Mott scattering

Jan Hugo Dil

The concept of a multichannel electron spin detector based on optical imaging principles and Mott scattering (iMott) is presented. A multichannel electron image produced by a standard angle-resolving (photo) electron analyzer or microscope is re-imaged by ...

A 5x5 SPADnet Digital SiPM Tile for PET Applications

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini

SPADnet is a sensor platform for the detection and processing of gamma photons generated in a PET system. SPADnet uses the novel technique of deferred coincidence detection, whereas timestamps associated with gamma events and their energy are routed at hig ...

Scintillation detectors based on silicon microfluidic channels

Philippe Renaud, Alessandro Mapelli, Pietro Maoddi

Microfluidic channels obtained by SU-8 photolithography and filled with liquid scintillators were recently demonstrated to be an interesting technology for the implementation of novel particle detectors. The main advantages of this approach are the intrins ...
