Hybrid pixel detectors with spectral imaging capability have multiple energy bins in each pixel capable of creating ‘colour’ images of an incoming polychromatic X-ray beam. The energy information, which is extracted for each incoming photon, can be used for image contrast enhancement, improved material identification or reduction of beam hardening artifacts in Computed Tomography. One...
A single arm beam telescope based on the recently developed Timepix4 ASIC was built in order to perform first tests of synchronous multiple-detector readout and track reconstruction. The Timepix4 is a hybrid pixel detector readout ASIC designed to record time-of-arrival (TOA) and time-over-threshold (TOT) simultaneously in each pixel. It has a 448x512 pixel matrix with square pixels at a 55...
The FASER experiment at the LHC is designed to look for new, long-lived fundamental particles. To extend its discovery potential, a W-Si preshower detector is currently under construction, with the objective of enabling the discrimination of photon pairs with O(TeV) energies and separation down to 200 µm. The detector will be based on a new monolithic silicon pixel sensor in 130nm SiGe BiCMOS...
We present a new C++ software for the configuration and read-out of Timepix4, a
large 4-side buttable ASIC developed by the Medipix Collaboration for high-rate
radiation imaging with improved energy and time resolution.
The software is organized in a structure of classes that allows to configure and
manage both the Timepix4 ASIC and the Control Board for data-handling and
interface with...
