Advances in gaseous time-of-flight detectors

چکیده
Timing Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) are planar gaseous detectors made with a combination of metallic and resistive electrodes, delivering time resolutions around 50 ps σ and efficiency up to 99% for MIPs. In this work we describe the development and test of an electrically shielded timing RPC array for crosstalk-free time measurements in high granularity time-of-fight (TOF) systems, as the Inner TOF Wall of the HADES experiment.

Developing a software for simulation of gaseous detectors with Monte carlo method in c++ programming language
In this paper we consider a gaseous detector and supposed, because of pass of an ionizing radiation, an electron created inside it. By numerical simulation with monte carlo method and concluding the impacts, scatterings and creation of secondary electrons, we find the trajectory of initial and secondary electrons. Dependence of number of secondary electrons to applied electrical field is invest...
متن کاملRecent advances in gaseous imaging photomultipliers
We summarize our recent advances in gaseous photomultipliers (GPMTs) for the UV and visible spectral range. They combine photocathodes and advanced multi-stage Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs). Principles of operation and properties are discussed, with emphasis on time and localization resolutions, ion-feedback suppression, novel electron multipliers and sealed photon detectors for visible light...
متن کاملEUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH Proposal to the ISOLDE and Neutron Time-of-Flight Committee The (n,α) reaction cross section measurement for light isotopes
We propose to measure the (n,α) reaction cross section for a set of light isotopes (16O, 10B, 12C, 14N, 19F) at the Experimental Area 1 (EAR-1) of the n_TOF neutron time of flight facility at CERN using gaseous targets. This will be the first time of time of flight measurement of the excitation function for these isotopes. The best resolution for incoming neutron energy can be reached. This rea...

Scintillation detectors are widely used in the experimental setup for the detection of charged particles. These detectors are able to measure the energy and time-of-flight of the charged particles. Also, they can be used to identify the detected particle. The probability of hadronic interaction between the detected particle and the nuclei of the scintillator atoms is one important issue that m...
متن کاملRecent Advances and Future Advances in Time-of-Flight PET.
Simple theory predicts that the statistical noise variance in PET can be reduced by an order of magnitude by using time-of-flight (TOF) information. This reduction can be obtained by improving the coincidence timing resolution, and so would be achievable in clinical, whole body studies using with PET systems that differ little from existing cameras. The potential impact of this development is l...
