Exploration of Si-H as a Radiation Detector Material - HASPIDE Project
The HASPIDE project aims to investigate the potential of using Si-H as a radiation detector material for various types of ionizing radiation. The project involves exploring different detection regimes, applications in space, neutron detection, and more. With a focus on developing advanced electronic chains, the project seeks to enhance radiation detection capabilities for scientific and practical purposes.

Obiettivi generali Obiettivi generali The HASPIDE project wants to explore the possibility to use a:Si-H as a detection mate- rial for ionizing radiation of different types (photons, electrons, protons, ions, neu- trons). Two detection regimes should be tackled: the continuous or pulsed intense radiation flux (e.g., FLASH-RT); the pulse-by-pulse mode, typical of space applications or neutron detection. The material is very radiation-resistant, could be deposited as a thin layer of few mi- crometers over many substrates, including flexible ones like Kapton, that potentially opens the way toward many important applications: ionizing radiation flux measurement and dosimetry of charged particles and photon beams, both clinical and non-clinical ones (accuracy 2% without perturbing the in- coming radiation beam); detection of cosmic radiation in the spatial environment; neutron detection after deposition of a thin 10B converter layer.
Attivit Attivit Main goal: Realize an electronic chain based on the TERA-08 chip able to work in two dif- ferent configurations: continuous and pulsed proton beams. TERA-08 chip was realized by INFN-TO and available on the market through the DE.TEC.TOR. s.r.l. company It was designed for continuous beams LNS-INFN group modified it for pulsed beams (laser-driven applications) Acquisition by means of a PXIe FPGA 782x board We use LabView to configure the FPGA and thus set thr characteristics of the acquisition system (as the externally settable parameters of TERA08). In addition, LabView enables on-line data proces- sing, resulting in a significant spare of time. Thanks to: Antonino Amato (INFN-LNS) 1-year post-doc position from january 2024
