Learning to See via Epiretinal Implant Stimulation in silico with Model-Based Deep Reinforcement Learning
Jacob Lavoie, Marwan Besrour, William Lemaire +3
Objective: Diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa cause the degradation of the photoreceptor layer. One approach to restore vision is to electri…
Laser driven miniature diamond implant for wireless retinal prostheses
Arman Ahnood, Ross Cheriton, Anne Bruneau +8
The design and benchtop operation of a wireless miniature epiretinal stimulator implant is reported. The implant is optically powered and controlled using safe illumination at near…
Measurements of electron transport in liquid and gas Xenon using a laser-driven photocathode
O. Njoya, T. Tsang, M. Tarka +153
Measurements of electron drift properties in liquid and gaseous xenon are reported. The electrons are generated by the photoelectric effect in a semi-transparent gold photocathode…
Reflectivity and PDE of VUV4 Hamamatsu SiPMs in Liquid Xenon
P. Nakarmi, I. Ostrovskiy, A. K. Soma +152
Understanding reflective properties of materials and photodetection efficiency (PDE) of photodetectors is important for optimizing energy resolution and sensitivity of the next gen…
Simulation of charge readout with segmented tiles in nEXO
Z. Li, W. R. Cen, A. Robinson +150
nEXO is a proposed experiment to search for the neutrino-less double beta decay () of Xe in a tonne-scale liquid xenon time projection chamber (TPC). The nEXO TPC wil…
Characterization of the Hamamatsu VUV4 MPPCs for nEXO
G. Gallina, P. Giampa, F. Retiere +148
In this paper we report on the characterization of the Hamamatsu VUV4 (S/N: S13370-6152) Vacuum Ultra-Violet (VUV) sensitive Silicon Photo-Multipliers (SiPMs) as part of the develo…
Study of Silicon Photomultiplier Performance in External Electric Fields
X. L. Sun, T. Tolba, G. F. Cao +149
We report on the performance of silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) light sensors operating in electric field strength up to 30 kV/cm and at a temperature of 149K, relative to their per…
VUV-sensitive Silicon Photomultipliers for Xenon Scintillation Light Detection in nEXO
A. Jamil, T. Ziegler, P. Hufschmidt +140
Future tonne-scale liquefied noble gas detectors depend on efficient light detection in the VUV range. In the past years Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) have emerged as a valid al…
nEXO Pre-Conceptual Design Report
nEXO Collaboration, S. Al Kharusi, A. Alamre +171
The projected performance and detector configuration of nEXO are described in this pre-Conceptual Design Report (pCDR). nEXO is a tonne-scale neutrinoless double beta () deca…
Characterization of an Ionization Readout Tile for nEXO
nEXO Collaboration, M. Jewell, A. Schubert +142
A new design for the anode of a time projection chamber, consisting of a charge-detecting "tile", is investigated for use in large scale liquid xenon detectors. The tile is produce…
Sensitivity and discovery potential of the proposed nEXO experiment to neutrinoless double beta decay
nEXO Collaboration, J. B. Albert, G. Anton +143
The next-generation Enriched Xenon Observatory (nEXO) is a proposed experiment to search for neutrinoless double beta () decay in Xe with a target half-life sensitivi…
Automatic Channel Fault Detection and Diagnosis System for a Small Animal APD-Based Digital PET Scanner
Jonathan Charest, Jean-François Beaudoin, Jules Cadorette +3
Fault detection and diagnosis is critical to many applications in order to ensure proper operation and performance over time. Positron emission tomography (PET) systems that requir…
