Use of a hybrid semiconductor pixel detector as a precision beam monitor at CERN accelerator facilities

We describe the performance of the Timepix silicon detector operation at the SPS and H8 extracted beam line at CERN. Some detector calibration results and tuning will be discussed and a new cluster analysis algorithm, to reconstruct the particle hits, is described as well. We investigated the optima...

description We describe the performance of the Timepix silicon detector operation at the SPS and H8 extracted beam line at CERN. Some detector calibration results and tuning will be discussed and a new cluster analysis algorithm, to reconstruct the particle hits, is described as well. We investigated the optimal acquisition setup for the Timepix device in order to use its full capabilities. A setup of 4 planes of the Timepix hybrid silicon pixel detector is tested as a hodoscope in the H8 180 GeV/c extracted pion beam, and also with a special 3 ns channeled proton bunch sequence inside the SPS accelerator. Spatial and angular distributions are measured.
