Imaging calorimetry in scintillating media for high energy physics and tomography

PRIN 2022

Abstract

Imaging calorimetry in scintillating media for high energy physics and tomography. Development of a new detection technique combining energy and position measurements using a homogeneous scintillating medium. The system integrates Coded Aperture Masks and SiPM arrays to reconstruct 4D maps (space + time) of energy deposition. Applicable to High Energy Physics, medical imaging, and industrial tomography. Main results: 1. Prototypes of detectors using solid and liquid (cryogenic and non-cryogenic) scintillators 2. Validated reconstruction techniques with high spatial and temporal resolution 3. Demonstrated applicability in both fundamental research and applied imaging fields
