A Single-Particle Trigger for Time-of-Flight Measurements in Prompt-Gamma Imaging

[EN] Tracking of single particles accelerated by synchrotrons is a subject that crosses several physics fields. The high clinical intensities used in particle therapy that can exceed 10(9)p/s make this task very challenging. The tracking of the arrival time of single particles in the ion beam is fun...
