Timepix3: first measurements and characterization of a hybrid-pixel detector working in event driven mode

Timepix3 is a hybrid pixel detector readout chip. It features a data driven readout mode where the chip sends out a data packet containing pixel coordinate, time over threshold and time of arrival immediately after the hit is processed by the pixel. The maximum hit rate is 40 Mhits/cm2/s with a minimum...

Medipix3: A 64 k pixel detector readout chip working in single photon counting mode with improved spectrometric performance

Medipix3 is a 256×256 channel hybrid pixel detector readout chip working in a single photon counting mode with a new inter-pixel architecture, which aims to improve the energy resolution in pixelated detectors by mitigating the effects of charge sharing between channels. Charges are summed in all...

An introduction to the Medipix family ASICs

The first Medipix chip which aimed at permitting single photon counting on a sizable matrix of pixels was developed in the mid-1990’s. In the following 20 years two families of chips have evolved from that initial effort. The Medipix photon counting family of chips comprises Medipix, Medipix2...

Introducing Timepix2, a frame-based pixel detector readout ASIC measuring energy deposition and arrival time

The Timepix2 ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) is the upgraded successor to the Timepix [1] hybrid pixel detector readout chip. Like the original, Timepix2 contains a matrix of 65k square pixels of 55 μm pitch that can be coupled to a similarly segmented semiconductor sensor, or integrated...

ADVACAM radiation detectors selected for NASA Lunar GATEWAY

The Gateway station, an international project led by NASA, is aimed to be the “gateway” to deep space. The aim is to participate in the preparation of a manned flight to Mars and testing new technologies. It will also be used for robotic and manned landings on the surface of the...

ADVACAM detector installation at COMEX facility

On October 23rd, an ADVACAM detector was introduced into a mineral sorting system at COMEX research facility located in Poland. This collaboration is part of the EU H2020 project X-MINE, of which ADVACAM has been a part since 2017. The energy-sensitive photon-counting detectors are greatly useful...
