Particle Identification and Tracking by the Use of a Pixel-Based Semiconductor Radiation Detector Coupled with Voltage Controlled Oscillators

Abstract

A particle detection chain based on a CMOS SOI VCO circuit associated to a matrix of detection is presented. The solution is optimized for the recognition and tracking of various particles. Two ions are considered: an alpha and an aluminum. These two ions were chosen because there are very different in terms of energy and LET variations.
