Silicon carbide dosimetry detector<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The invention refers to a charged particle detector made of silicon carbide and capable of performing dosimetric measurements as part of quality controls of the beam lines at proton therapy centres. With such a detector it is also possible to take measurements on beams of high-intensity charged particles and produced by laser-matter interaction.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”4587″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The invention consists of a charged particle detector comprising a plurality of detection units placed in series along the x-axis corresponding to the direction of propagation of a charged particle beam. The charged particle detector of the invention is capable of operating with mono-energetic beams of charged particles with energy of 5 MeV or more. <\/p>\n

The detector comprises a main body having a main dimension, and containing a multiplicity of detector units made of silicon carbide placed in series with each other. These detection units are then electrically connected to a signal reading and processing system.<\/p>\n
