It is well known that the attenuation length of radiation in any dense
material increases with radiation energy. We propose a novel method of
measuring x-ray and gamma spectra based on this principle. The
multispectral x-ray and gamma spectrometer concept employs a
scintillating material and optical camera system coupled via optical
fibers. The opt...

2 1 CERN 2 DESY Abstract The ALFA detector aims for precise luminosity measurement by using elastic pp-scattering under small angles [1]. The tracking detectors are made of staggered scintillating fiber planes triggered by several scintillator tiles. Since the absolute rate measurement of scattered protons is needed for the luminosity determination...
Charged Particle Therapy is a technique for cancer treatment that exploits hadron beams, mostly protons and carbons. A critical issue is the monitoring of the dose released by the beam to the tumor and to the surrounding tissues. We present the design of a new tracking device for monitoring on-line the dose in ion therapy through the detection of s...
