In this work we present a SiPM-based photodetector module designed to readout large LaBr3:Ce (1” up to 3”) scintillators for nuclear physics experiments. The photodetector is composed by new High-Density cell SiPM technology for Near UltraViolet and blue light detection, named NUV-HD SiPM (Fondazione Bruno Kessler — FBK, Italy). This SiPM shows high Photo Detection Efficiency (PDE > 45% at 380...
We describe here a new SiPM-based prototype of detection module for prompt gamma imaging (PGI) in proton therapy, illustrating the preliminary experimental results in terms of energy resolution. Treatments delivered by proton therapy are affected by uncertainties on the range of the beam within the patient. To reduce these margins and deliver safer treatments, different projects are currently investigating...
In the present work we briefly describe the architecture of a photo-detection module, designed in the framework of the INSERT (INtegrated SPECT/MRI for Enhanced Stratification in Radio-chemoTherapy) project, supported by the European Community. We focus on two main elements of the module: the SiPM photo-detector unit and the multi-channel ASIC. These two components have been investigated with dedicated...
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...
