HASPIDE-SPACE: a new concept of a radiation-resistant instrument for solar energetic particles
C. Grimani, M. Fabi, M. Menichelli +55
Galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles (SEPs) affect the performance of instruments carried on board space missions and are the source of the absorbed dose to astronaut…
ASTAROTH: A Novel Detector for Dark Matter Direct Detection Using Cryogenic SiPMs
Edoardo Martinenghi, Valerio Toso, Fabrizio Bruno Armani +12
The DAMA experiment's long-standing claim of dark matter detection remains a key open issue in astroparticle physics. Independent verification requires NaI(Tl)-based detectors with…
First use of large area SiPM matrices coupled with NaI(Tl) scintillating crystal for low energy dark matter search
Edoardo Martinenghi, Valerio Toso, Fabrizio Bruno Armani +10
The long-standing claim of dark matter detection by the DAMA experiment remains a crucial open question in astroparticle physics. A key step towards its independent verification is…
Proton irradiation on Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon flexible devices
M. Menichelli, S. Aziz, A. Bashiri +58
Radiation damage tests in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) flexible flux and dose-measuring devices have been performed with a 3 MeV proton beam, to evaluate combined displa…
