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…
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…
