Development of TOF-PET detectors based on the Multi-Gap Resistive Plate Chambers
We describe the development, construction and preliminary results obtained with medium-size MultiGap Resistive Plate Chambers prototypes designed to detect and localize 511 keV photons for Positron Emission Tomography imaging applications. The devices are intended for in-beam monitoring of the treatment plans throughout deep tumor therapy with hadron beams; emphasis is put on achieving coincide...
متن کاملThe use of multi-gap resistive plate chambers for in-beam PET in proton and carbon ion therapy
On-line verification of the delivered dose during proton and carbon ion radiotherapy is currently a very desirable goal for quality assurance of hadron therapy treatment plans. In-beam positron emission tomography (ibPET), which can provide an image of the β+ activity induced in the patient during irradiation, which in turn is correlated to the range of the ion beam, is one of the modalities fo...
متن کاملResistive Plate Chambers in ATLAS
The ATLAS first level muon trigger is based, in the rapidity region ( v ( 5 1.05, on fast and finely segmented gaseous detectors, Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) . A prototype of a small scale RPC trigger tower has been assembled and tested. We present results on efficiency, time resolution, cluster size and collected charge. The detectors, filled with a non-flammable and environment-safe gas m...
متن کاملThe dynamic behaviour of Resistive Plate Chambers
In this paper the first attempt to extend the usual ‘‘static’’ simulation of Resistive Plate Chambers to the case when the rate of incident particles is not negligible is described. This is done by coupling a simulation of the process of electrode discharging and charging up, together with a simulation of the avalanche processes taking place in the gas. The model accounts for many of the observ...
متن کاملDevelopment of glass resistive plate chambers for INO experiment
The India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) collaboration is planning to build a massive 50 kton magnetised Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) detector, to study atmospheric neutrinos and to make precision measurements of the parameters related to neutrino oscillations. Glass Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) of about 2m 2m in size are going to be used as active elements for the ICAL detector. We have fabric...
