The full optimization of the design and operation of instruments whose functioning relies on
the interaction of radiation with matter is a super-human task, due to the large dimensionality …

CMOS cameras revolutionized the visible imaging world, and now also move into other
fields. After years of intensive research with significant progress and introduction in a few …

We present the performance of a full-length prototype of the ALICE Forward Calorimeter
(FoCal). The detector is composed of a silicon-tungsten electromagnetic sampling …

In this article we examine recent developments in the research area concerning the creation
of end-to-end models for the complete optimization of measuring instruments. The models …

Objective. For dose calculations in ion beam therapy, it is vital to accurately determine the
relative stopping power (RSP) distribution within the treatment volume. A suitable imaging …

Objective. Proton therapy is highly sensitive to range uncertainties due to the nature of the
dose deposition of charged particles. To ensure treatment quality, range verification …

We propose a novel technique for reconstructing charged particles in digital tracking
calorimeters using reinforcement learning aiming to benefit from the rapid progress and …

The thermal modeling of biological systems is increasingly important in the development of
more advanced and more precise techniques such as ultrasound surgery. One of the …

Radiation therapy using protons and heavier ions is a fast-growing therapeutic option for
cancer patients. A clinical system for particle imaging in particle therapy would enable online …

Six decades after its conception, proton computed tomography (pCT) and proton
radiography have yet to be used in medical clinics. However, good progress has been made …
