Description

This report demonstrates initial testing of the high-speed spectral camera ModuPIX based Timepix detector with Si sensor. We present the first results on the measurement of x-rays produced by passing a 2 GeV low-intensity electron beam through a resonant transition radiation target and then diffracted from the HOPG crystal. A test setup was constructed on the test beam line No 21 at DESY (Hamburg, Germany). The results obtained show that the Timepix detector allows separating the low intensity diffracted X-rays from the background caused by charged particles.
The work was partially supported by AIDA project within the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 654168 and by the Competitiveness enhancement program of the Tomsk Polytechnic University.
