Characterization and Simulation of Silicon Carbide Devices in the SAMOTHRACE Ecosystem
We present studies on two Silicon Carbide (SiC) detectors for applications as dosimeters, micro-dosimeters, and beam-tagging devices, including detailed detector characterization, optimization of the associated electronics, and a performance comparison with conventional silicon-based detectors. Furthermore, preliminary device-level simulations carried out with Sentaurus are discussed to support the experimental results. The combined experimental and simulation studies demonstrate the potential of SiC as a promising alternative to silicon for radiation detection, particularly in environments where high radiation tolerance and fast response are required. Within this framework, the SAMOTHRACE ecosystem, in collaboration with CHIMERA, is working toward the development of a 10 \(\mu \)m thick SiC detector for dosimetry and micro-dosimetry, as well as a 100 \(\mu \)m thick device for beam-tagging applications.

Advancements in Silicon Carbide-based detectors for high-performance radiation dosimetry and beam monitoring: from simulations to test phase
Silicon Carbide (SiC) based detectors have been appointed as possible candidates for new-generation detectors for both radiation and charged particles. SiC is in fact a material characterized by a high radiation hardness, a strong mechanical resistance and thermal stability. This contribution describes the ongoing activity related to the study of Silicon Carbide devices as dosimeter or real time beam monitor, in the framework of SAMOTHRACE ecosystem. In particular, the development of accurate simulations, using the Geant4 toolkit, that consider the possible different configurations and manufactures of the detector, will be reported. This activity is a crucial step in understanding the contribution from the inter-pixel regions.

Silicon carbide detectors for particle therapy within the SAMOTHRACE ecosystem
A goal of the nowadays cancer radiotherapy treatment would be to reduce the healthy tissue damage, while maximizing the cancer disruption. Among the different possibilities, X-rays have been widely used during the irradiation for tumor cells killing, but they have manifested to damage healthy tissue. On the other hand, it was shown that the irradiation with charged particles (such as protons, alphas, carbon ions) allows a more precise definition of the deposited energy in the tumor cells, saving the healthy tissues. Promising could be also ions, as the Carbon-11, coming from radioactive ion beams. The use of Carbon-11 particles, in fact, would allow the use in both hadron therapy and medical imaging. In this context, SiC detectors are being characterized within the SAMOTHRACE ecosystem [1] for their employment as dosimeter, micro-dosimeter and tagging for RIBs such as the Carbon-11. In this contribution the characterization of two Silicon Carbide devices, will be discussed: a detector with a surface of 1 cm2 and 10 μm thick, intended to be used as a dosimeter and micro-dosimeter; and a 100 μm thick detector, with the same surface area, to be used as beam tagging.
