Good agreement between experimental data and the results of calculations of the yield and angular distributions of parametric X-ray radiation of electrons in crystals within the framework of kinematic theory enables us to use the measurement results to determine the photon energy dependence of the sensitivity of X-ray plates. The results of measurements of the angular distributions of parametric X-ray radiation of electrons with an energy of 255 MeV in a Si crystal using imaging plates of several types were compared with the results of calculations that take into account all currently known experimental factors that influence the measurement results. The spectral dependence of the sensitivity of the studied X-ray plates was determined for photon energies of two orders of reflection and for the (111), (1̅1̅1), and (110) reflection planes.

In view of the High Luminosity LHC upgrade, the so-called Phase 2 upgrade, the electronics of the Drift Tubes (DT) subdetector of CMS will undergo a complete innovation. The requirements in terms of trigger rate will exceed the capabilities of the present electronics. Thus, all the on-detector electronics together with the associated back-end need to be replaced. Phase-2 on-detector electronics for DT consist of about 800 FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) based boards called OBDT (On-detector Board for Drift Tubes). These boards are sub-divided in two different categories: 600 OBDT ϕ and 200 OBDT θ, targeting respectively the readout of DT wires parallel and normal to the LHC beams. Each OBDT ϕ is able to time-digitize 240 channels with sub-nanosecond resolution and upstream to the back end using multiple high-speed optical links running at 10.24 Gb/s. The choice of components known to have good resistance to radiation was a requirement in the design of the OBDT. The main component, the FPGA, is a flash-based PolarFire from Microsemi, already qualified in different facilities for radiation hardness tests. As a validation step, a campaign of radiation tests was carried out at the INFN-TIFPA Protontherapy Centre in Trento, Italy, using proton beams. The behavior of an OBDT ϕ board was evaluated during radiation exposure with a total dose much higher than expected to be integrated during 10 years of HL-LHC, which is 0.5 Gy.

In high-intensity accelerators, minimizing beam loss is paramount to avoid damages and activation of accelerator components. To achieve this, a reliable beam profile monitor is essential for assessing the beam center and spread. Additionally, the beam profile can be used to steer the beam during regular operation, thus reducing beam loss. In cases of irregular events, the monitor can initiate beam profile recording to identify and address any issues promptly. In this manuscript, we present a detailed description of a non-invasive 2D beam profile monitor, focusing on its components, operation, and most importantly, its reliability and failure modes. From operation experience, failure modes of the system and its effects were identified. Fault tree analysis was carried out. Failure rate of sheet generator was estimated using response surface method. Failure rates of components were used to estimate the failure rate of the system. From the target reliability, the required maximum repair time of the system was calculated.

The paper reports the results of calculations of the generation of twisted photons by relativistic electrons in the laser wave field with linear polarization. It is shown that in this case the probability of radiation of twisted photons obeys the selection rule that n + m is an even number. The radiation of the probability of detecting a twisted photon is numerically investigated depending on various parameters: photon energy, helicity and the cone opening of the twisted photon. In general, the radiation of twisted photons by electrons in the laser wave field with linear polarization is a mixture of twisted photons at the total angular momentum of the photons; however, we have found conditions when generation of twisted photons will be an almost pure source of twisted photons.

The time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (TIADC) is one of the most effective solutions for improving the sampling rate of acquisition systems. However, the frequency response mismatch between channels can seriously degrade the performance of the system. In this paper, we propose a calibration method for frequency response mismatches in 4-channel TIADC systems. Following the construction of a four-channel TIADC model using a four-order Hadamard matrix, the error signals were extracted using three time-invariant filters and subsequently subtracted from the output to complete the calibration. It uses the Hadamard transform instead of the complex exponential modulator used in conventional time-varying filter methods, which can further simplify the signal processing without the necessity of complicated calculations. We have employed a stimulated four-channel TIADC system to validate the effectiveness of the proposed calibration technique. Moreover, in a commercial 12.5 GSPS four-channel TIADC system, it is also demonstrated that this approach is effective in improving the spurious-free dynamic range of the system.

The search for light dark matter (< 10 GeV/c 2) has become increasingly important, since no conclusive evidence has been found in the higher dark matter (DM) mass region. In order to explore this light mass range, it is necessary to accurately model the response of the noble liquid time projection chamber (TPC) detectors, used in many experiments aimed at the direct measurement of DM, to low energy (< 1 keV) nuclear recoils (NRs). In this respect, 37Ar provides an ideal calibration source in the low-energy region due to its two low-energy peaks at 0.27 and 2.82 keV following electron capture with a 35-day half-life. We propose a method to produce 37Ar without chemical or heating treatments by using the 40Ca(n,α)37Ar reaction. This can be achieved by irradiating nano-CaO powder with a neutron source (e.g. AmBe) and allowing the produced 37Ar to diffuse into the argon used inside a double-phase TPC. By measuring the NR yields relative to those two low-energy points in the Recoil Directionality (ReD) experiment, other detectors can be cross-calibrated with the same source deployed. In this talk, the 37Ar source production, its deployment, and preliminary results will be presented.

In the framework of the LHC Injector Upgrade project, a new internal dump for the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) ring has been designed, installed, and successfully commissioned. This device is designed to move rapidly into the beam and stop charged particles over several thousand turns to provide protection to PS hardware against beam-induced damage. Due to its design, the internal dump absorbs only a fraction of the secondary particles shower produced by the beam particles that impinge on it. The performance of the dump should ensure efficient use throughout the PS energy range, i.e. from injection at 2 GeV (kinetic energy) to flat top at 26 GeV (total energy). This paper presents comprehensive numerical simulations that combine advanced beam dynamics and beam-matter interaction codes to analyse the behaviour of stopped or scattered particles. Based on the impacts computed by multi-turn beam dynamics simulations, detailed shower simulations with FLUKA were performed to assess the impact of the radiation field on downstream equipment, with a particular emphasis on the dose measured by Beam Loss Monitors. The results of these numerical simulations are compared with the data collected during the routine operation of the PS and its internal dump.

In this paper we introduce a prototype Radiation Energy Measuring Integrated Circuit (REMIC) fabricated in a 28 nm CMOS process. The chip operates in a single-photon counting (SPC) mode and contains 100 pixels with a size of 50 μm × 50 μm. It is designed for precise energy measurements using asynchronous analogue-to-digital conversion. The proposed architecture allows both fast signal processing and precise energy measurement of incoming photons to be performed independently in each pixel, occupying a small pixel area. The integrated circuit (IC) has dimensions of 1.1 mm × 1.1 mm and is currently undergoing preliminary measurements. The paper focuses on the methodology used to mitigate process variations in each of the recording channels.

This work is concerned with the design and the characterization of front-end channels, developed in a 28 nm CMOS technology, conceived for the readout of pixel sensors in future, high-rate applications at the next generation facilities. Two front-end architectures are discussed. In the first one, an in-pixel flash ADC is exploited for the digitization of the signal, whereas the second one features a Time-over-Threshold (ToT) approach. A prototype including the ADC-based front-end has been submitted and the characterization of the chip is discussed in the paper. Simulation results relevant to the ToT-based architecture are reported.

Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance (PET/MR) imaging, is a novel imaging modality that combines the capabilities of two powerful imaging techniques in a single acquisition. This unique integration allows for simultaneous acquisition of both metabolic and structural data within a single imaging session. In this sense, PET/MR offers a comprehensive and innovative approach to medical imaging, but accompanied by its intrinsic physics and engineering complexity, involving intricate synchronization of high-performance detectors, electromagnetic shielding, and sophisticated correction algorithms, among others. In this hands-on session performed during the 6th INFIERI summer school (Madrid, Spain), we described an introduction to simultaneous PET/MR image acquisition and quantification in a real clinical to students from diverse backgrounds in physics and engineering. We first presented the fundamental aspects of PET/MR image acquisition, including the main theoretical characteristics of PET/MR physics and electronics, visiting the PET/MR facilities at Hospital Universitario HM Puerta del Sur (HM Hospitales, Móstoles, Madrid), and discussing the main PET/MR clinical and research applications. Then, we followed with a practical session on PET/MR image quantification, preparing the students to understand and solve examples on image reconstruction, multimodal data visualization, inhomogeneity correction, image registration, and attenuation correction exploiting the simplicity and usefulness of 3D Slicer.
正电子发射断层扫描/磁共振(PET/MR)成像是一种新颖的成像模式,在一次采集中结合了两种强大成像技术的功能。这种独特的整合方式可在一次成像过程中同时获取代谢和结构数据。从这个意义上说,PET/MR 为医学成像提供了一种全面而创新的方法,但同时也具有其固有的物理和工程复杂性,涉及高性能探测器的复杂同步、电磁屏蔽和复杂的校正算法等。在第六届 INFIERI 暑期班(西班牙马德里)期间进行的这次实践课程中,我们向来自不同物理学和工程学背景的学生介绍了在真实临床中同步 PET/MR 图像采集和量化。我们首先介绍了 PET/MR 图像采集的基本方面,包括 PET/MR 物理和电子学的主要理论特征,参观了马德里 HM Puerta del Sur 大学医院(马德里莫斯托莱斯 HM Hospitales)的 PET/MR 设备,并讨论了 PET/MR 的主要临床和研究应用。随后,我们进行了关于 PET/MR 图像量化的实践课程,让学生了解并解决有关图像重建、多模态数据可视化、不均匀性校正、图像配准以及利用 3D Slicer 的简易性和实用性进行衰减校正的示例。
