Abstract We present several novel ionization-electron and scintillation-photon recording concepts in noble-liquid detectors, for future applications particle astroparticle physics other fields. These involve both single- dual-phase detector configurations with combined electroluminescence small charge multiplication gas liquid media.

Physics goals of the STAR Experiment at RHIC in recent (and future) years drive the need to operate the STAR TPC at ever higher luminosities, leading to increased ionization levels in the TPC gas. The resulting ionic space charge introduces field distortions in the detector which impact tracking performance. Further complications arise from ionic charge leakage into the main TPC volume from the...

The near-threshold evolution of electron-impact ionization of hydrogen is revealed with measurements of the angular and energy correlations of the outgoing electrons down to 0.05 eV. The single-, double-, and triple-differential cross sections in the perpendicular plane are measured simultaneously using a dual wedge-and-strip detector on a single-toroidal energy analyzer, avoiding many experime...

A method is described for the direct quantitation of phosphatidylcholine molecular species by reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography employing flame ionization detection. The method is shown to be applicable to plan phosphatidylcholine. The molecular species are separated with a C18 column eluted in an isocratic mode. Detection by a commercially available flame ionization detector...

A pixelated silicon detector, developed originally for particle physics experiments, was used a beam profile measurement of cobalt-60 (Co-60) irradiator in water phantom. The compared to measured with pinpoint ionization chamber. differences the pixel detector and chamber relative profiles were within approximately 2% maximum, after calculating correction factors Monte Carlo simulations maximum...

PURPOSE The purpose of the study is to investigate the characteristics of a two-dimensional (2D) liquid-filled ion chamber detector array, which is used for the verification of radiotherapy treatment plans that use small field sizes of up to 10 × 10 cm. METHODS The device used in this study was Octavius 1000 SRS model (PTW, Freiburg, Germany). Its 2D array of detectors consists of 977 liquid-...

Low-energy nuclear recoils (NRs) are hard to measure because they produce few e$^{-}$/h$^+$ pairs in solids -- i.e. have low "ionization yield". A silicon detector was exposed thermal neutrons over 2.5\,live-days, probing NRs down 450\,eV. The observation of a neutron capture-induced component at energies is supported by the much-improved fit upon inclusion capture NR model. This result shows t...

in this study, simple and efficient ultrasound-assisted emulsification microextraction (usaeme) combined with gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (gc-fid) was developed for the preconcentration and determination of carbamazepine in biological samples. in this method, the fine droplets of 1-octanol were formed and dispersed in the sample with the help of ultrasonic waves, which accelera...

Ionization Chambers have been commonly used at beamlines in many synchrotron radiation facilities. Typical ADC ion chambers are pictured in Figure 1. The chambers generate a current proportional to the incident X-ray beam intensity. The ionization chamber allows users to determine the change in beam position in a single axis by comparing two signals that are created as the beam passes through t...
