Abstract: A device for detecting photons and charged particles includes a first photon-detecting panel, which causes a Compton scattering of incident radiation with charged particles, such that the wavelength thereof increases, losing part of their energy, generating a signal. A central charged particle-detecting panel, following the first photon-detecting panel on a side opposite that of the incident radiation, identifies charged particles generated in the first photon-detecting panel, generating a signal. A second photon-detecting panel, follows the central charged particle-detecting panel on a side opposite that of the first photon-detecting panel. Scattered photons and/or charged particles are generated in the first photon-detecting panel interact, generating a signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a solution for determining events related to photons and charged particles useful in therapies that use methodologies related to hadron therapy. In one aspect of the invention, it relates to a device having a sandwich-type structure of photon-detecting panels (1) and charged particle-detecting panels (2), which can be suitably associated with respective sensors. Also included is a method for detecting photons and charged particles that uses the aforementioned device. Lastly, a specific use of the object of the invention in hadron therapy is described.
