Single proton counting at the RIKEN cell irradiation facility

  • 1. Atomic Physics Laboratory, RIKEN, 351-0198 Wako-shi, Saitama (Japan)

Description

We present newly developed tapered capillaries with a scintillator window, which enable us to count single protons at the RIKEN cell irradiation setup. Their potential for performing single proton irradiation experiments at our beamline setup is demonstrated with CR39 samples, showing a single proton detection fidelity of 98%
