A Large-Area Optical Time Projection Chamber for Hard X-ray Polarimetry with Directional Imaging of Low-Energy Electron Recoils
Davide Fiorina, Elisabetta Baracchini, Giorgio Dho +8
We report on the development of a large-volume, wide field-of-view time projection chamber (TPC) for X-ray polarimetry, featuring a triple-GEM amplification stage and optical reado…
Modeling the light response of an optically readout GEM based TPC for the CYGNO experiment
Fernando Dominques Amaro, Rita Antonietti, Elisabetta Baracchini +56
The use of gaseous Time Projection Chambers enables the detection and the detailed study of rare events due to particles interactions with the atoms of the gas with energy releases…
CRYSP: a Total-Body PET based on cryogenic cesium iodide crystals
S. R. Soleti, P. Dietz, R. Esteve +11
Total Body PET (TBPET) scanners have the potential to substantially reduce both acquisition time and administered radiation dose, owing to their high sensitivity. However, their wi…
Bayesian network 3D event reconstruction in the Cygno optical TPC for dark matter direct detection
Fernando Domingues Amaro, Rita Antonietti, Elisabetta Baracchini +50
The CYGNO experiment is developing a high-resolution gaseous Time Projection Chamber with optical readout for directional dark matter searches. The detector uses a helium-tetrafluo…
High Voltage Delivery and Distribution for the NEXT-100 Time Projection Chamber
NEXT Collaboration, C. Adams, H. Almazán +105
A critical element in the realization of large liquid and gas time projection chambers (TPCs) is the delivery and distribution of high voltages into and around the detector. Such e…
Performance of an Optical TPC Geant4 Simulation with Opticks GPU-Accelerated Photon Propagation
NEXT Collaboration, I. Parmaksiz, K. Mistry +113
We investigate the performance of Opticks, a NVIDIA OptiX API 7.5 GPU-accelerated photon propagation tool compared with a single-threaded Geant4 simulation. We compare the simulati…
