Two detector head prototypes, one based of clear fibers (PEARL type pixel, with the same size and smaller one) and the other based on WLSF with 4 different pixel geometries and HEIMDAL pixel size, are being characterized. The Data Acquisition Electronics module and GUI was developed by Scientifica International. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • MCNP simulations for substrate\/converter\/detector geometry to minimize absorption and get the required efficiency.<\/li>\n
  • Ion detector selection: Si, SiC or Multi Channel Plates (MCP) according to radiation\u00a0hardness needs.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Ion detectors embedded in two positions in the beam guide allow 2 efficiencies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
