Advances in photocathode development for PICOSEC Micromegas precise-timing detectors
M. Lisowska, F. Guerra, A. Gurpinar +46
The PICOSEC Micromegas detector is a~precise-timing gaseous detector that combines a Cherenkov radiator, a~semi-transparent photocathode and a Micromegas amplification stage, targe…
Overlap-aware segmentation for topological reconstruction of obscured objects
J. Schueler, H. M. Araújo, S. N. Balashov +30
The separation of overlapping objects presents a significant challenge in scientific imaging. While deep learning segmentation-regression algorithms can predict pixel-wise intensit…
Optical readout of MPGDs with solid wavelength shifters
F. M. Brunbauer, A. Cools, M. Cortesi +20
Optical readout of MicroPattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs) makes use of the high granularity of imaging sensors to achieve good spatial resolution for radiation imaging and particle…
Measurements of enriched 155 Gd and 157Gd converters with the NMX detector on the nTOF EAR2 beam line at CERN
D. Pfeiffer, F. M. Brunbauer, I. R. Fehse +15
The detectors for the NMX instrument at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund use natural Gd as the neutron converter. In 2024, beam time was obtained at the neutron time-of…
Design, simulation and performance of the resistive-anode PICOSEC Micromegas detector
Djunes Janssens, Antonija Utrobicic, Marinko Kovacic +52
The PICOSEC Micromegas detector is a Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detector concept developed to achieve tens of picosecond timing resolution for charged particle detection by combining a…
Nanodiamond photocathodes for MPGD-based single photon detectors
F. M. Brunbauer, C. Chatterjee, G. Cicala +11
This study investigates the suitability of Hydrogenated NanoDiamond (HND) materials as an alternative for CsI in MPGD-based photon detectors. The research focuses on characterizing…
