Description
In my on-going Master thesis, under the supervision of Professor Matthias Schott and with the assistance of Dhruv Chouhan, I am attempting to do a GridPix detector characterization, as the GridPix is our group's proposed active neutrino detector technology to replace the current emulsion layers of the FASERν detector in the near future. After a series of test beams at ELSA accelerator in Bonn with different experimental setups (one already completed in December and one currently on-going), the main goals of my work are to achieve precise track reconstruction and accurate estimation of the spatial and angular resolution of GridPix. The special feature of my study is that the Timepix chip, the pixelated readout of GridPix, is planned to be hit perpendicularly by the beam, unlike any other prior study regarding GridPix.
Significance
GridPix detector is not novel, but it is the first time that it is used for that purpose. Plus, FASER experiment is a quickly developing new experiment, so I believe that my talk will be generally interesting.
