Abstract
Detecting the charge particles at Giga hertz rate is one of the applications of UFSD (Ultra-Fast Silicon Detectors). The UFSD test in front of the proton beam to count the beam particles and use it for a more precise Dose Delivery System for the treatment of the cancerous tumor by charge particles can become an effective step for the development of cancer treatment. In fact, this assessment is a prerequisite and guarantees the use of these detectors in the dose delivery system. In this regard, the best method for time measurement, which was CFD, was chosen. MATLAB software was used to measure and analyze the UFSD output signals. The results of the 50-μm-thick UFSD test and the various geometries that we performed in several different experiments at the CNAO Cancer Treatment Center in Italy, as well as the data obtained at the laboratory of CERN accelerator in Germany, were analyzed by the CFD method. The results of many different runs of programs in MATLAB for many registered signals show: 1- These sensors are reliable to count the proton particles in Giga hertz rate. 2-The CFD devices could be used to record the UFSD output signals. Therefore, they can be used in the correction of the dose delivery system as a counter for the proton number of the proton beam.
