Measurement of the efficiency of the pattern recognition of tracks generated by ionizing radiation in a TIMEPIX detector
Original language description
A hybrid silicon pixelated TIMEPIX detector (256x256 square pixels with a pitch of 55 ?m) operated in Time Over Threshold (TOT) mode was exposed to radioactive sources and protons after Rutherford Backscattering on a thin gold foil of protons beams delivered by the Tandem Accelerator of the Montreal University. Simultaneous exposure of TIMEPIX to radioactive sources and to protons beams on top of the radioactive sources allowed measurements with different mixed radiation fields of protons, alpha-particles, photons and electrons. All measurements were performed in vacuum. The comparison of the experimental activities (determined from the measurement of the number of tracks left in the device by incoming particles) of the radioactive sources with their expected activities allowed the test of the device efficiency for track recognition. The efficiency of track recognition of incident protons of different energies as a function of the incidence angle was measured. The cluster size left by
