Their outstanding timining capabilities, in combination with a high rate capability and high radiation hardness, makes Low Gain Avalanche Diodes (LGADs) excellent candidates for various applications in different fields.
These applications include the in-beam detector for beam monitoring and reaction time reconstruction in high intensity, 4.5 GeV proton beams at HADES, resolving the bunch time-structure at the S-DALINAC for operation in energy recovery mode, and the development of a time-of-flight-based ion computed tomography demonstrator system aimed at improving the treatment planning quality for ion beam therapy in the future.
This group report will present the LGAD calibration procedures, the acquired timing precisions and reached performance of the mentioned applications.
