This work deals with the first characterization results of an X-ray detection module developed within the scope of SIDDHARTA experiment. SIDDHARTA is a nuclear physics experiment aimed at the study of strong nuclear interactions using exotic atoms. This is achieved using monolithic arrays of Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs), each consisting of eight SDD elements arranged in a 2×4 format (total area...
This work describes the development of a gamma detector based on silicon drift detectors (SDDs) to read out large : scintillators for gamma-ray astronomy applications, within an activity supported by the European Space Agency (ESA). SDDs, characterized by high quantum efficiency and low electronic noise, when coupled with a scintillator are good candidates for gamma-ray...
Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) and Silicon PhotoMultipliers (SiPMs) are two silicon based photo-detector technologies for scintillator readout with applications in medical imaging, nuclear physics, space research and others. These devices provide compact scintillator readout solutions for spectroscopy, imaging and timing measurements. Goal of this work, is to make a comparison between these two photo-detector...
A new multi-modality imaging tool is under development in the framework of the INSERT (Integrated SPECT/MRI for Enhanced Stratification in Radio-chemo Therapy) project, supported by the European Community. The final goal is to develop a custom SPECT apparatus that can be used as an insert for commercially available MRI systems. INSERT is expected to offer more effective and earlier diagnosis with...
This work deals with the development of a new gamma detector based on Silicon Drift Detectors (SDDs) to read out large (2″ up to 3″) LaBr3:Ce scintillators for gamma-ray spectroscopy for astronomy applications, an activity supported by ESA. SDDs, characterized by high quantum efficiency and low electronic noise, are good candidates in such applications with a wide energy range of gamma rays to be...
A new multi-modality imaging tool is under development in the framework of the INSERT (INtegrated SPECT/MRI for Enhanced Stratification in Radio-chemoTherapy) project, supported by the European Community. A custom SPECT apparatus, used as an insert for commercially available MRI systems, could enhance the treatment of brain tumors (primarily glioma) by offering more effective and earlier diagnosis...
