Demonstrating Timepix-based hodoscope for cubesat applications for detecting passing charged particles. |
Description |
Timepix-based hodoscope for cubesat applications, such as PilsenCube2, developed by the University of West Bohemia. The hodoscope is composed of two Timepix detectors with silicon thickness of 300μm, placed in back-to-back arrangement and rotated relative to each other by 90°, forming a telescope set-up. A copper separator is placed between two detectors to distinguish electrons and protons. |
