Two PhD students from the Radiation Detectors and Nuclear Electronics Laboratory of Politecnico di Milano received the Best Student Paper award at the IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium 2020 international conference for two papers on the development of multi-channel instruments in the INFN GAMMA and ARDESIA projects.
Davide Di Vita for a gamma spectrometer based on a new generation of photodetectors (SiPM) that replace the old photomultipliers, combined with dedicated electronic reading circuits and artificial intelligence techniques for the reconstruction of the scintillation position of the detected gamma photon.
Gianlorenzo Utica for the 16-channel evolution of the high count rate ARDESIA spectrometer, developed for non-invasive X-fluorescence analysis of matter in synchrotron applications.
