Neutrons, as highly penetrating radiation, engage in complex interactions with matter
depending on their energy and nuclear structure. In underground facilities, fast neutrons
originate from nuclear reactions induced by the intrinsic radioactivity of rock and cavity
walls, as well as from the constituent materials of detectors, shieldings, and supporting
structures. Consequently, radiogenic...
Recent advances in hadrontherapy and radiobiology require precise information on the particle beam properties. For in-beam detection of protons and ions a low areal density is mandatory to allow for passage of the primary particles at negligible energy loss and scatter. We report on two developments from i3M.
Prompt-gamma imaging and spectroscopy (PGI, PGS) can be applied for range...
We present results from our efforts on reliable operations and detector development at the ICTS unique infrastructure Centro de Láseres Pulsados (Villamaoyor, Spain), i.e. efforts towards metrology standardization of primary and secondary laser driven sources. We will give an overview of the standardization of metrology for laser plasma experiments, laser sources, and laser based secondary...
The use of novel x-ray optic systems alongside advanced detector technologies has been emphasized as one of the key paths forward required for future axion dark matter searches and to overcome nuclear waste recycling challenges. X-ray telescopes are already integral to current and future astrophysics missions by NASA, ESA, and JAXA, with further advancements promising new applications in...
Muon Tomography is an emerging technique with a large potential as a Non-Destructive Testing tool in fields such as geophysics, archeology, civil engineering, security, industry and others. This talk presents some of the latest developments in the field ranging from new hardware concepts, to recent muon imaging techniques or novel use cases. Especial attention is payed to applications being...
Nuclear physics research and applications require continuous research and development (R&D) in detection and data acquisition (DAQ) systems. The Nuclear Innovation Unit at CIEMAT covers a broad scientific program on neutron-induced reaction cross-section measurements (capture, fission, and charged particle production), $\beta$-delayed neutron emission, ($\alpha$,n) reaction studies, and is...
New detection systems for hadrontherapy and FLASH therapy have been designed and manufactured at the Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica (IMB-CNM, CSIC) in Barcelona, Spain.
Silicon microdosimeters that can reduce the radiobiological uncertainties in the normal tissue surrounding the target by allowing for further RBE calculations are based in silicon 3D-cylindrical microdetectors. They have...
The IRIS group of IFIC (http://ific.uv.es/iris) has specialized on the development of innovative technology for medical imaging.
Compton cameras are showing promising results in different medical imaging areas. The group has wide expertise in the development of Compton cameras for medical applications. Starting from a basic prototype, the group has improved its capabilities and modified the...
In this talk, we will present the use and application of acoustic/ultrasonic sensors for the detection of particles in different areas: deep-sea neutrino telescopes, direct dark matter bubble chamber detectors, and for hadrontherapy monitoring. The different cases will be presented, as well as the experience of the UPV group with these detector systems.
