Skewness of energy-loss straggling and multiple-scattering energy distributions
Energy spread distributions due to electronic energy-loss straggling and multiple small-angle scattering of swift ions in matter are approximated by asymmetric Gaussian functions consisting of two-piece normal distributions. These skewed energy distributions approximate the distributions more accurately than the conventional approximation by Gaussian functions. The results are compared to exper...
متن کاملTest Bench for Silicon Strip Detectors Testing
During the next few months more than 400 Silicon Strip Detector (SSD) modules will be tested before and after their installation on the ladders and dispatch to Brookhaven National Laboratory. The requirements for the test bench have been defined and the architectural design of all software components has been completed. The system is distributed and features a client–server architecture. Measur...
متن کاملSilicon strip detectors for ATLAS at the HL-LHC upgrade
The present ATLAS silicon strip tracker (SCT) and transition radiation tracker (TRT) are to be replaced with new silicon strip detectors as part of the inner tracker system (ITK) for the Phase-II upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider, HL-LHC. We have carried out intensive R&D programs based on n-on-p microstrip detectors to fabricate improved radiation hard strip detectors that can survive the r...
متن کاملSilicon tracking detectors in high-energy physics
Since the fifties, semiconductors have been used as energy spectrometers, mainly in unsegmented ways. With the planar technique of processing silicon sensors in unprecedented precession, strip-like segmentation has allowed precise tracking and even vertexing, culminating in the early eighties with NA11 in the tagging of heavy flavor quarks—here the c-quark. With the later miniaturization of ele...
متن کاملImpact of range straggling and multiple scattering on proton therapy of brain, using a slab head phantom
Background: The advantages of proton beam in radiation therapy- like small lateral scattering as well as absence of exit dose tail in the organs which are after the tumor- make it capable of delivering more treatment doses to the target and much lesser to the critical tissues near it. Materials and Methods: In this study, the Monte Carlo MCNPX code has been used to simulate a slab head phantom ...
