The VOXES (VOn Hamos X-ray spectrometer using HAPG for Extended Sources) Bragg spectrometer is a high-resolution X-ray spectrometer developed at the INFN National Laboratories of Frascati (LNF). It is based on cylindrically bent mosaic crystals operating in the Von Hamos configuration and was specifically designed to overcome the intrinsic efficiency limitations of traditional Bragg...

30. Advanced X-ray Imaging and Spatially-Resolved Spectroscopy for Plasma Diagnostics: the PYN-HO Prototype at INFN-LNS

In the frame of the PANDORA project - aimed at measuring β-decays of nuclear astrophysical interest in magnetically confined plasmas – and the SAMOTHRACE ecosystem (funded by the EU Next Gen Program), a new non-invasive plasma diagnostics testbench, PYN-HO, has been developed at INFN-LNS to advance the state-of-the-art in non-invasive plasma monitoring. The system is designed for...

26. Hybrid single photon counting Detectors and Its Applications from Material Analysis to Medical Imaging

Hybrid semiconductor single photon counting detectors developed within the Medipix collaboration at CERN represent a modern detector technology based on the principle of single-particle counting (alpha, gamma, electrons, etc.). A characteristic feature of these detectors is that each pixel contains its own readout electronics (amplifier, discriminator, etc.), which eliminates the integration...
