Introduction: Microdosimeters are helpful for dose equivalent measurement in unknown radiation fields. The favorable physical and mechanical properties of the detector-grade chemical vapor deposition diamond materials have made the diamond microdosimeters suitable candidate for radioprotection applications in space. The purpose of this work is the investigation of the dose equivalent response o...

Silicon detectors are used in many medical applications for particle tracking, X-ray medical imaging, gamma or X-ray spectrometry, among others. The development of new silicon detectors for specific physics areas leads to overcome technological challenges that means not only optimize the design, but also improve the micro-fabrication processes. A new design of a solid-state-detector based on si...

 The radiation hardness of diode array devices based on silicon on insulator technology and bulk technology was investigated. The devices were exposed to 24 GeV/c protons (at CERN) up to a fluence of 4.1 10 p/cm. Charge collection following irradiation indicated a significant reduction in minority carrier lifetime. The damage constant was calculated using alpha particle spectroscopy methods. T...
