Steering of negatively charged particle beams below 1 GeV has demonstrated to be possible with thin bent silicon and germanium crystals. A newly designed mechanical holder was used for bending crystals, since it allows a remotely-controlled adjustment of crystal bending and compensation of unwanted torsion. Bent crystals were installed and tested at the MAMI Mainz MIcrotron to achieve steering of 0.855-GeV electrons at different bending radii. We report the description and characterization of the innovative bending device developed at INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (LNL).

The characterization of detectors fabricated from home-grown crystals is the most direct way to study crystal properties. We fabricated planar detectors from high-purity germanium (HPGe) crystals grown at the University of South Dakota (USD). In the fabrication process, a HPGe crystal slice cut from a USD-grown crystal was coated with a high resistivity thin film of amorphous Ge (a-Ge) followed by depositing a thin layer of aluminum on top of the a-Ge film to define the physical area of the contacts. We investigated the detector performance including the $I$-$V$ characteristics, $C$-$V$ characteristics and spectroscopy measurements for a few detectors. The results document the good quality of the USD-grown crystals and electrical contacts.

Germanium and silicon-germanium alloys have found entry into Si technology thanks to their compatibility with Si processing and their ability to tailor electronic properties by strain and band-gap engineering. Germaniums potential to extend Si functi onalities, as exemplified by lasing action of strained-Ge on Si substrates, has brought the material back to attention. Yet despite these advances, non-radiative transitions, induced by crystal defects originating from the Ge/Si interface, continue to be a serious bottleneck. Here we demonstrate the drastic emission enhancement achieved via control and mitigation over the parasitic activity of defects in micronscale Ge/Si crystals. We unravel how defects affect interband luminescence and minimize their influence by controlling carrier diffusion with band-gap-engineered reflectors. We finally extended this approach designing efficient quantum well emitters. Our results pave the way for the large-scale implementation of advanced electronic and photonic structures unaffected by the ubiquitous presence of defects developed at epitaxial interfaces.
We present a measurement of multiple Coulomb scattering of 1 to 6 GeV/c electrons in thin (50-140 um) silicon targets. The data were obtained with the EUDET telescope Aconite at DESY and are compared to parametrisations as used in the Geant4 software package. We find good agreement between data and simulation in the scattering distribution width but large deviations in the shape of the distribution. In order to achieve a better description of the shape, a new scattering model based on a Students t distribution is developed and compared to the data.
The cable capacitance in cryogenic and high vacuum applications of quartz tuning forks imposes severe constraints on the bandwidth and noise performance of the measurement. We present a single stage low noise transimpedance amplifier with a bandwidth exceeding 1 MHz and provide an in-depth analysis of the dependence of the amplifier parameters on the cable capacitance.
The results obtained in laboratory tests, using scintillator bars read by silicon photomultipliers are reported. The present approach is the first step for designing a precision tracking system to be placed inside a free magnetized volume for the cha rge identification of low energy crossing particles. The devised system is demonstrated able to provide a spatial resolution better than 2 mm.
