For over five decades, TRIUMF has been at the forefront of accelerator-driven secondary particle production, cementing Canada’s role as a global leader in supplying essential accelerator technology for radioisotopes, neutrons, photons, and muons. These particles power groundbreaking research in nuclear, particle, and astrophysics, as well as solid-state physics and an expanding range of...
The search for neutrinoless double beta decay in liquid Xenon led to the development of a new generation of single photon detectors with deep UV sensitivity and extremely low power consumption. The emergence of digital Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) arrays also called digital SiPMs is starting to revolutionize many sensing applications, including high rate neutron detection and even air...
A 32-bit RISC-V microcontroller is designed and fabricated at a 22-nm FD SOI node using Radiation Hardening by Design Techniques. The device features 512 KB of on-board memory and can run at a clock speed of ~300 MHz. The device also supports a rich set of interface options. Using both architectural changes as well as more complex standard cell replacements, the device shows strong reliability...
