Development of a liquid scintillator-based 3D detector for range measurements of spot-scanned proton beams
The goal of the present study is to develop a liquid scintillator-based 3D detector and investigate its performance for beam range measurements in real time. The detector design consists of a tank filled with water-equivalent liquid scintillator that scintillates in response to incident proton beams. Three scientific complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (sCMOS) cameras collect the resulting ...
متن کاملPreparation of nanocomposite scintillator of ZnS doped with Ag, Cu and AgCu for alpha particle detection
ZnS nanoparticles (NPs) doped with Ag, Cu, and AgCu were synthesized using hydrothermal method in water solution. The NPS are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy scanning (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The produced NPs have approximately hexagonal structure and a cubic zinc blended struc...
متن کاملParticle Tracking with a Thin Pixel Telescope
The anticipated ILC physics program indicates that identification of heavy fermions with high efficiency and purity is of primary importance. The requirements in terms of track extrapolation accuracy are ≃ 5 μm ⊕ 10 μm pt (GeV) . The Vertex Tracker design and the sensor R&D is driven by this requirement. CMOS pixel sensors are an attractive option for the ILC Vertex Tracker. In particular, they...
متن کاملNanodosimetry-Based Plan Optimization for Particle Therapy
Treatment planning for particle therapy is currently an active field of research due uncertainty in how to modify physical dose in order to create a uniform biological dose response in the target. A novel treatment plan optimization strategy based on measurable nanodosimetric quantities rather than biophysical models is proposed in this work. Simplified proton and carbon treatment plans were si...
متن کاملRange Verification System Using Scintillator and Ccd Camera System
For the daily QA of the energy scanning delivery, quick and easy range verification system is required. In this work, we have developed range verification system using scintillator and CCD (charge-coupled device) camera. From the comparison of the several methods, edge detection method is best for range detection. Accuracy of range detection for the system is within the 0.2 mm. Reproducibility ...
