As particle physics strives for increased precision and sensitivity in its measurements, the beam energy, power, and per-bunch luminosity of colliders increase and produce significantly more complex events primarily by way of overlapping collisions (pileup) that test the performance and robustness of our algorithms and analysis.

Tipsy is an assembly of a pixel chip and a stack of transmission dynodes "tynodes", placed in the vacuum under a classical window+photocathode. A tynode is an array of thin membranes: an electron impinging the upper surface causes the emission of (now) 5.5 secondary electrons at the bottom side. A stack of 5 tynodes causes a cloud of 5.5**5 = 5 k electrons to enter the pixel input pad,...
