The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) is the upgrade of the existing Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN in Switzerland. Its primary objective is to enhance the potential for scientific discoveries by substantially increasing the integrated luminosity. Specifically, the HL-LHC aims to deliver approximately five times the nominal instantaneous luminosity of the LHC,...
Trench-Isolated Low-Gain Avalanche Detectors (TI-LGADs), implement pixel segmentation through physical trenches etched into the silicon substrate and filled with a dielectric material. In this work, we present results from a 120 GeV pion test beam campaign at the CERN SPS, focusing on carbon-infused single-trench TI-LGAD prototypes with varying trench widths. The devices, irradiated with...
High temperature superconducting YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) is an enabling material that have recently entered the field of microwave cavities that must operate at very high magnetic fields; an example is the axion haloscope for dark matter search. The reason is the ability to significantly improve cavity efficiency by increasing the quality factor due to the low surface resistance values of YBCO at...
Tracking detectors based on scintillating fibers read out with silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) are emerging as a competitive alternative to silicon strip detectors in high-energy and astroparticle physics. The scintillating fiber tracker (FIT), originally developed as the tracking detector for the upcoming High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection (HERD) facility, consists of multiple tracking...
The National Accelerator Center (CNA) is a joint institution of the University of Seville, the Regional Government of Andalusia, and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Together with the Center for Micro-Analysis of Materials (CMAM), it forms the Unique Scientific and Technical Infrastructure IABA (Accelerator-Based Applications Infrastructure), which provides advanced accelerator...
As a result of the R&D activities on wide–bandgap semiconductor sensors—specifically silicon carbide (SiC)—the feasibility of developing dosimetry systems for gamma radiation (brachytherapy) and proton beams (proton therapy) using this technology has been investigated. Within the framework of the Plan Complementario, the first experimental tests have been performed in collaboration with the...
The project ICOR aims at the improvement of the assessment of targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) treatments through the visualization of the radiopharmaceutical distribution in the patients body. The IRIS group of IFIC (Valencia) has developed a Compton camera and is evaluating its performance for this application. The project focuses on the improvement of the system performance with...
Pristine and neutron-irradiated silicon carbide (SiC) p-in-n diodes, fabricated at IMB-CNM with a 50-µm active thickness, were systematically characterized using the Two-Photon Absorption Transient Current Technique (TPA-TCT) at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) laser facility. The study evaluates radiation-related performance metrics—charge-collection efficiency, transient...
The Centro Nacional de Aceleradores (CNA) in Seville hosts a 3 MV tandem accelerator in which the nuclear physics experiments carried out are often complementary and in collaboration with the CERN ISOLDE and n_TOF communities and facilities. In this context, the “Desarrollo de instrumentación científica avanzada para infraestructuras nacionales e internacionales en astrofísica y física de...
