Experimental setup showing the two ultrafast silicon detectors used to determine the energy of clinical proton beams. (Courtesy: Anna Vignati) Beam energy is a key parameter in particle therapy, ...
This circuit is presented as an alternative to the IR beam break detector featured in the June 2009 issue (Silicon Chip). In order to make it relatively insensitive to ambient light, it uses a ...
The beam is off, but high energy physics research is very much on at one of the world’s premier particle physics labs. The requirements of social distancing have prompted scientists at the U.S.
