We report the experimental validation of a detection module based on a LaBr 3 (Ce+ Sr)
scintillator crystal, read by a matrix of Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs), for the development …

A SiPM-based gamma-ray detection module for substituting bulky Photomultiplier Tubes in
the readout of large scintillation crystals is presented. The system can be coupled to …

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a promising cancer treatment that uses energetic
ions released from 10 B (n, α) 7 Li reactions. Accurate assessment of neutron energy spectra …

The shortage of 3 He, a crucial element widely used as a neutron converter in neutron
detection applications, has sparked significant research efforts aimed at finding alternative …

This work provides the first experimental proof of an increased neutron capture photon
signal following the introduction of boron to a PMMA phantom during helium and carbon ion …

We report the performances of a compact gamma-ray detection prototype, based on a 2”
LaBr 3 scintillator crystal coupled to a matrix of 64 SiPMs, designed as a single unit for a …

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of a range of shielding strategies on the rate of false
positive detections by a simulated detector for application in Neutron Capture Enhanced …

We report the results of a study for the design of a collimator for a BNCT-SPECT system. The
goal of the BNCT-SPECT system is to quantify and localize the dose released to a patient …

Boron neutron capture therapy exploits 10 B (n, α) 7 Li reactions for targeted tumor
destruction. In this work, we aimed at developing a dose monitoring system based on the …

Objective. A scintillator is a luminescent material that converts high-energy photons into
visible light and is widely used in medical imaging. Different scintillators are applied to …
