AMIGA (Auger Muons and Infill for the Ground Array) is an upgrade of the Pierre Auger Observatory designed to extend its energy range of detection and to directly measure the muon content of the cosmic ray primary particle showers. The array will be formed by an infill of surface water-Cherenkov detectors associated with buried scintillation counters employed for muon counting. Each counter is ...

MAGIC is a system of two imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) located on the Canary island La Palma. Each telescope's camera consists 1039 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). We developed three detector modules based silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) seven pixels each that are mechanically and electronically compatible with those used in camera. These prototype installed next to PMTs opera...

Presently, there are well known non-invasive methods in the detection of breast cancers. The most important include Magnetic resonance, X-ray, and Ultra-sound mammograms. However, due to their high cost, inconvenience, and time considerations, alternative methods are emerging. The Hand-Held Breast Cancer Detector (HHBCD) is designed to be an inexpensive and convenient way to replace other mammo...

The neutron emissivity profile in the Madison Symmetric Torus is being reconstructed through the use of a collimated neutron detector. A scintillator-photomultiplier tube (PMT) system is employed to detect the fusion neutrons with the plasma viewing volume defined by a 55 cm deep, 5 cm diameter aperture. Effective detection of neutrons from the viewing volume is achieved through neutron moderat...

We fabricated a small-sized, flexible, and insertable fiber-optic radiation sensor (FORS) that is composed of a sensing probe, a plastic optical fiber (POF), a photomultiplier tube (PMT)-amplifier system, and a multichannel analyzer (MCA) to obtain the energy spectra of radioactive isotopes. As an inorganic scintillator for gamma-ray spectroscopy, a cerium-doped lutetium yttrium orthosilicate (...
