D5: Beyond HEP
- Gobinda Majumder (Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India)
The study of nuclear fragmentation plays a central role in many important applications: from the study of Particle Therapy up to radiation protection for space missions.
In Particle Therapy, nuclear interactions of the beam with the patient’s body causes fragmentation of both the projectile and target nuclei.
In treatments with protons, target fragmentation generates short range secondary...
There have been significant advances in the use of Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) for the study of neutrinos in recent years. The low-energy particle identification capabilities and scalability of LArTPCs with pixelated charge readout systems could provide enhanced performance in detecting the Compton scattering of photons used in medical imaging techniques such as Positron...
HEPS-BPIX40 is a new hybrid pixel detector specifically designed for the High Energy Photon Source, which is currently under construction in Beijing, China. It is a full upgrade from both the chip and detector module of its former version, BPIX20. The pixel chip comprises a matrix of 128 x 96 pixels, with each pixel measuring 140 μm x 140 μm. The pixel circuit operates in the single photon...
The study of the properties of the proton is based on spectroscopy measurements. The FAMU experiment aims to meaure the Zemach radius of the proton through exotic atoms. In particular the hyperfine splitting (HFS) of the energy ground levels of the muonic hydrogen (µp) is directly related to the Zemach radius. In presence of a gas mixture, muons are transferred from µp to heavier gas with...
The 3DΠ scanner is a Total-Body (TB), Time Of Flight (TOF), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging device that utilizes silicon photomultiplier-based technology and a Xenon-doped Liquid Argon (LAr) scintillator. The scanner has an axial field-of-view (AFOV) of 200 cm and consists of 9 double-sided concentric rings of SiPM panels. The addition of Xenon doping to the LAr scintillator...
The Accelerator Mass Spectrometry technique makes it possible to measure rare long-lived isotopes such as 10Be, 14C, 26Al, 129I. The content of these isotopes can be at the level of $10^{-15}$ of the total element content. The Accelerator Mass Spectrometer developed by Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP AMS) successfully measures the concentration of 14C relative 12C. However, there is...
