Abstract

The FragmentatiOn Of Target (FOOT) experiment aims to provide precise nuclear cross-section measurements for two different fields: hadrontherapy and radio-protection in space. The main reason is the important role the nuclear fragmentation process plays in both fields, where the health risks caused by radiation are very similar and mainly attributable to the fragmentation process. The FOOT experiment has been developed in such a way that the experimental setup is easily movable and fits the space limitations of the experimental and treatment rooms available in hadrontherapy treatment centers, where most of the data takings are carried out. The Trigger and Data Acquisition system needs to follow the same criteria and it should work in different laboratories and in different conditions. It has been designed to acquire the largest sample size with high accuracy in a controlled and online-monitored environment. The data collected are processed in real-time for quality assessment and are available to the DAQ crew and detector experts during data taking.

Abstract

The FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) experiment is an international project designed to carry out the fragmentation cross-sectional measurements relevant for charged particle therapy (CPT), a technique based on the use of charged particle beams for the treatment of deep-seated tumors. The FOOT detector consists of an electronic setup for the identification of Z≥3Z\ge 3 fragments and an emulsion spectrometer for Z≤3Z\le 3 fragments. The first data taking was performed in 2019 at the GSI facility (Darmstadt, Germany). In this study, the charge identification of fragments induced by exposing an emulsion detector, embedding a C2H4{{\rm{C}}}_{2}{{\rm{H}}}_{4} target, to an oxygen ion beam of 200 MeV/n is discussed. The charge identification is based on the controlled fading of nuclear emulsions in order to extend their dynamic range in the ionization response.

Abstract

We report on tests of a radionuclide imaging system for in vivo investigations in small animals with low-energy photons as from [sup.125]I (27-35 keV). Imaging optics features a high-resolution coded aperture mask and a fine pitch hybrid pixel detector (silicon 300-[micro]m or 700-[micro]m thick, or CdTe 1 mm thick) of the Medipix2 series (55 [micro]m pitch, 256 x 256 pixels). The coded aperture had 480 70-[micro]m holes in 100-[micro]m-thick tungsten. Laboratory tests with a [sup.109]Cd 22 keV source and a microfocus X-ray tube (35 kVp, Mo anode) show a system resolution of about 110 [micro]m at magnification m = 2.12 and a sensitivity improvement of 30:1 as compared to a 300-[micro]m pinhole collimator. The field of view also depends on magnification: in the experiments presented, it varied from 6 mm (m : 2.12) to 21 mm (m : 0.66). [sup.125]I in vivo mouse thyroid imaging with the 70 [micro]m coded aperture, a 300 [micro]m pinhole and a 100 [micro]m parallel hole collimator was also performed to obtain a qualitative comparison. This low energy, semiconductor-based, compact gamma-ray imaging system can be used as a gamma-ray sub-millimeter resolution imager for energies below about 35 keV and it is the basic imaging unit of a small animal Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography system (MediSPECT) built at University of Napoli Federico H and Istituto Nazionale Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Napoli. Index Terms--Image analysis, image processing, image reconstruction, Monte Carlo, PEM, pinhole, positron emission mammography, SPECT instrumentation.

Abstract

We present here preliminary tests of Medisoft 4, a software procedure for the control and the readout of the single photon counting radiation imaging systems based on the Medipix2 chip (256 x 256 pixels, 55 [micro]m pitch). The system has been developed in the framework of the Medipix2 collaboration. This hardware and software system is the successor of the system based on the Medipix1 photon counting chip (64 x 64 pixels, 170 [micro]m pitch). Following the Medipix system evolution, Medisoft 4 allows the user to access the new implemented features such as the higher resolution, the faster data communication rates, the daisy-chain multichip mode, the energy windowed acquisition, the continuous acquisition mode, the double signal polarity (holes and electrons), etc. The readout of the data from the Medipix2 chip is presently via the chip serial bus through a MUROS2 interface board and a commercial input/output board, but a parallel readout via a is also foreseen. The current version (Medisoft 4.0), here the subject of preliminary tests connected via MUROS2 to a Medipix2 chip not bump-bonded to any detector , reads out only single chips and features a reduced set of functionalities. Future versions will read up to eight chips in daisy chain and provide full system performance, including high frame rate acquisitions and spectroscopic imaging. After a description of the Medipix2 chip, its readout interfaces and the Medisoft 4 software architecture, we show the results of preliminary software tests on serial communication protocol and speed with MUROS2 and Medipix2, analogue test input, internal digital analog converters calibration and threshold uniformity. Index Terms--Radiation detectors, software packages and testing.

Abstract

The OPERA experiment is designed to search for nu(mu) -> nu(tau) oscillations in appearance mode, i.e., through the direct observation of the tau lepton in nu(tau)- charged current interactions. The experiment has taken data for five years, since 2008, with the CERN Neutrino to Gran Sasso beam. Previously, two nu(tau) candidates with a tau decaying into hadrons were observed in a subsample of data of the 2008-2011 runs. Here we report the observation of a third nu(tau) candidate in the tau(-) -> mu(-) decay channel coming from the analysis of a subsample of the 2012 run. Taking into account the estimated background, the absence of nu(mu) -> nu(tau) oscillations is excluded at the 3.4 sigma level.

Abstract

We present first in vivo tomographic Na125I imaging of the mouse thyroid carried out with the new MediSPECT small animal SPECT scanner, based on a fine pitch CdTe pixel detector (14×14 mm2, 256×256 square pixel of 55 μm side) and equipped with a high resolution collimators set. The MediSPECT scanner is based on a gantry, hosting the collimation and detection units, rotating around a horizontal axis along which is the small animal housing. The mouse was injected with a Na125I solution with a total activity of 31.8 MBq. The planar projections for SPECT reconstruction were acquired with a 300 μm tungsten pinhole (magnification 1.47 and a Field of View — FoV - of 9.6×9.6 mm2). The projections have been captured in a step-and shoot fashion by rotating the detector around the animal holder. To obtain the SPECT image all the projections are elaborated with a C++ software based on ordered subsets-expectation maximization (OS-EM) reconstruction algorithm, developed by our group. Test images for assessing the MediSPECT scanner spatial resolution have been also acquired using phantoms and are also presented in this wok. The measured spatial resolution with a 300 μm pinhole is, in planar imaging, about 500 μm and, in tomographic imaging, better than 900 μm. The modular structure of MediSPECT allows for multimodal imaging: at present, a Fluorescence Reflectance Imaging head has been installed, for planar optical imaging in addition to SPECT imaging.

Abstract

It is well known that a monochromatic X-ray source with an energy optimized for the organ thickness to be imaged could result in a better image quality in transmission radiology. In this paper we present the preliminary investigation for the implementation of this technique in computer tomography (CT) imaging. The detection system is based on a 1 mm thick silicon pixel detector bump bonded to a VLSI read-out, Medipix2. This detector ensures a good detection efficiency (46%) in the used energy range (60 kVp) with a good spatial resolution that arises from a 55 μm square pixel. The Medipix2 read-out electronics is not only a single photon counting system, but has also the capability of dual-energy threshold, that allows us to detect only photons that are in a chosen energy window. In this paper we present the results obtained in CT imaging of small samples, by selecting various energy windows within a standard X-ray tube spectrum so as to maximize the differentiation between significant attenuation coefficients. This study is preliminary for a future development of a dual-energy CT that could add functional information to the morphological information that is obtained in a CT examination.

Abstract

A portable system has been developed for the control and the readout of a 64×64 pixel silicon hybrid detector (1.1×1.1 cm2 active area), bump-bonded to the Medipix1 readout chip. This system was originally designed for biomedial imaging applications and is based on standard commercial digital I/O boards and a compact dedicated interface (p-MUROS), connected to the portable PC. The Medipix1 chip is hosted in a 257 Pin Grid Array chip carrier directly placed on the p-MUROS board. This board is the simplified version of the MUROS1 readout board already developed in the framework of the Medipix collaboration. User-friendly software system (Medisoft 3.3) has been written to provide control of the system and image acquisition, display and processing. This complete hardware/software imaging system has been used with laboratory α, β and γ sources for test purposes and represents the portable version of a desktop imaging system developed for β-autoradiography. The system description and complete imaging tests are presented. Additional applications include the monitoring of the flux and the energy spectrum of X-rays tubes.

Abstract

We present the first tests of a digital imaging system based on a silicon pixel detector bump bonded to an integrated circuit operating in single-photon counting mode. The X-ray sensor is a 300-/spl mu/m-thick silicon, 14/spl times/14 mm/sup 2/ sensitive area, upon which a matrix of 256 /spl times/ 256 (65536) square pixel, 55 /spl mu/m in side, has been built. The readout chip, named MEDIPIX2, has been developed at CERN within the MEDIPIX2 collaboration and it is composed by a matrix of 65536 readout channels exactly with the same geometry of the detector. The spatial resolution properties of the system have been assessed by measuring the square-wave resolution function and the first images of a standard mammographic phantom were acquired using a radiographic tube in the clinical irradiation condition.
