AbstraktAbstract
Position sensitive detectors are evolving towards higher dimensions of segmentation from 0D (single pad) over 1D (strip) to current 2D (pixel) detectors. Each step has brought up substantial expansion in the field of applications. The next logical step in this evolution is to design a 3D sensitive device, i.e. voxel detector. The voxel detector can be constructed from 2D volume element detectors arranged in layers forming a 3D matrix of sensitive elements - voxels. Such voxel detector can effectively record tracks of energetic particles. By proper analysis of these tracks it is possible to determine the type, direction and energy of the primary particle. The first prototypes of a voxel detector were built using a number of Timepix or Medipix pixel detectors arranged in layers.
