    Contributed Talk
    Degenerative photoreceptor diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration and re- tinitis pigmentosa, are the most common causes of blindness in the western world. A potential cure is to use a microelectronic retinal prosthesis to provide electrical stimu- lation to the remaining healthy retinal cells. Due to the success of cochlear implants in restoring hearing to the...

    An orthogonal strip HPGe detector has been manufactured by Ortec. The dimensions of the crystal are 60 × 60 × 20 mm. The crystal is electrically divided into 12 strips of a 5 mm width on both sides of the detector. Combined with digital electronics and pulse shape analysis (PSA), the detector has the potential to reduce the position resolution to 1 mm3. The improvement of position...

    Contributed Talk
    Hybrid Photon Detectors (HPD) have been chosen for the Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors of the LHCb experiment. Photons impinging on a multi-alkali S20 photo-cathode deposited on a quartz window produce photo-electrons that are accelerated by a 20 kV potential onto a silicon pixel sensor anode. The sensor is segmented into 8192 pixels of size 0.0625 mm x 0.5 mm that are...

    New Gas-based Tracking Detectors
    Contributed Talk
    We are developing a micro-Time Projection Chamber (micro-TPC) based on a micro-pixel chamber (μ-PIC). A Micro-TPC is employed for an electron-tracking Compton camera [1,2]. A μ-PIC is a fine pixel-type two-dimensional imaging detector with a pixel pitch of 400μm and it has a detector area of 10×10cm2. We achieved a maximum gas gain of 15,000 and stable operation over 1,000 hours...
