    TRIUMF Annular Chamber for Tracking and Identification of Charged Particles (TACTIC) is a cylindrical Active Target Time Projection Chamber (TPC) designed to study alpha-induced charged-particle reactions of astrophysical importance at the relevant energies. The reaction cross section measurements rely on the tracking and identification of the reaction products by means of differential energy...

    Micropatterned gas Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) are of interest for rare event physics where 3D reconstruction of low-energy recoil tracks has the potential to provide unique sensitivity to various searches, such as Dark Matter [1]. Camera based readouts for gas TPCs are gaining popularity to measure low-energy tracks for low cost per channel, high resolution and isolation of the readout...

    High-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors represent the state of the art in gamma-ray spectroscopy, where position-sensitive capabilities play a crucial role in improving spatial resolution and event reconstruction. The performance of segmented HPGe detectors, however, is still constrained by lithium-diffused n⁺ contacts, which introduce thick inactive layers, limit fine segmentation, and exhibit...

    The Cooler Storage Ring External-Target Experiment (CEE) requires a high-precision Beam-Particle Monitor (BPM) to track individual heavy-ion beam particles. Reliable detection of lighter ions, such as Carbon, at particle rates up to 1 MHz is essential for precise primary vertex reconstruction and beam diagnostics.
    The BPM employs a dual micro-Time Projection Chamber (micro-TPC) architecture...

    X-ray & Gamma Ray Detectors
    Plenary Talk

    Direct-detection, energy-resolved X-ray imaging at high frame rates and low dead time is challenging for conventional detectors, which typically trade spatial resolution, speed and per-photon spectral information against one another. We present FasXcam, a monolithic active pixel sensor (MAPS) for energy-resolved soft X-ray imaging developed by the CAPADS group as a successor to the X-CHIP and...

    Neural networks (NNs) are promising solutions for achieving fast and efficient reconstruction of the position of interaction in detectors, usually combining accuracy with ultra-low power operation. In scintillator-based PET and SPECT gamma cameras, embedding NN processing early in the acquisition chain can simplify the system design, reducing throughput, power consumption and scanner cost. NNs...

    We present the development of Thick Gaseous Electron Multiplier (THGEM) detectors designed for cosmic muon radiography. As a robust variant of Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs), THGEMs can offer excellent position resolution, durability and portability, making them highly effective in muography application. To serve as effective tracking detectors in muography, these devices must offer...
