Spectacular - A Modular DAQ System for Microdosimetry
Matthias Knopf, Simon Waid, Daniel Radmanovac +8
Particle therapy using light ions like protons, helium ions or carbon ions enables precise tumor targeting with enhanced biological effectiveness while minimizing damage to healthy…
A frontend ASIC for Microdosimetry
Simon Waid, Matthias Knopf, Giulio Magrin +6
Recent clinical evidence shows a correlation between linear energy transfer (LET) and tumor control in carbon ion radiotherapy. This prompts the direct inclusion of LET into the tr…
Measurements of the micro-spill structure of medical cyclotron and synchrotron beams and its impact on pulse pileup
Matthias Knopf, Simon Waid, Stefan Gundacker +10
Detector characterization and instrumentation testing are often performed at cyclotron and synchrotron facilities, many of which were originally developed for medical applications…
Design and simulation of a 4H-SiC low gain avalanche diode with trench-isolation
Sebastian Onder, Philipp Gaggl, Jürgen Burin +6
We present the design and simulation of a 30 thick 4H-SiC Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) optimized for high-voltage operation. A 2.4 thick epitaxially…
In-situ Radiation Damage Study of Silicon Carbide Detectors Subjected to Clinical Proton Beams
Daniel Radmanovac, Andreas Gsponer, Simon Waid +5
Silicon carbide (SiC) planar PiN diodes from two different manufacturers were irradiated with 252.7 MeV protons from a medical synchrotron. Over the course of two 8h irradiation sh…
Extraction of Electron and Hole Drift Velocities in thin 4H-SiC PIN Detectors using High-Frequency Readout Electronics
Andreas Gsponer, Sebastian Onder, Stefan Gundacker +5
Silicon carbide (SiC) has been widely adopted in the semiconductor industry, particularly in power electronics, because of its high temperature stability, high breakdown field, and…
Characterizing the Delivered Spill Structure of Medical Proton and Carbon-Ion Beams at MedAustron using a High Frequency Silicon Carbide Readout
Matthias Knopf, Andreas Gsponer, Matthias Kausel +7
Medical synchrotrons are often used for testing instrumentation in high-energy physics or non-clinical research in medical physics. In many applications of medical synchrotrons, su…
From Single Particles to Clinical Beam Rates: A Wide Dynamic Range Beam Monitor
Simon Waid, Philipp Gaggl, Andreas Gsponer +4
Access to high-energy particle beams is key for testing high-energy physics (HEP) instruments. Accelerators for cancer treatment can serve as such a testing ground. However, HEP in…
Exploring Offline Pileup Correction to Improve the Accuracy of Microdosimetric Characterization in Clinical Ion Beams
Matthias Knopf, Sandra Barna, Daniel Radmanovac +3
Microdosimetry investigates the energy deposition of ionizing radiation at microscopic scales, beyond the assessment capabilities of macroscopic dosimetry. This contributes to an u…
Measurement of the electron-hole pair creation energy in a 4H-SiC p-n diode
Andreas Gsponer, Matthias Knopf, Philipp Gaggl +3
For 4H silicon carbide (4H-SiC), the values for the electron-hole pair creation energy published in the literature vary significantly. This work presents an experime…
