Small Dosimeter based on Timepix device for International Space Station

Original language description

The radiation environment in space is different, more complex and intense than on Earth. Conventional devices and detection methods used nowadays have poor resolving power and narrow dynamic range. The reason is that most of the dose comes from energeticcosmic rays in the form of heavy ions, mainly protons, that are not present on the ground. The Timepix detector possesses suitable properties for measurements of such mixed radiation field. It is a position sensitive pixelated detector (300 ?m thick silicon sensor, 256x256 square pixels with 55 ?m pitch) developed at CERN in a frame of the Medipix collaboration and provides capability to visualize tracks of single particles. Measuring track of particles and their deposited energy allows us to distinguish different particles. This information can be used for sorting the particles into different categories. It is possible to distinguish light charged particles such as electrons or heavy charged particles such as ions. Moreover, the Linea
