AbstraktAbstract
In preparation for the development of an active Space Radiation Dosimeter based on the Medipix2 pixel ASIC technology developed at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, exposures were made at the HIMAC facility in Japan with a TimePix-based version with a Si detector layer to explore the potential for discrimination between tracks with differing charges and energies, but with very similar dE/dx values. Data were taken in February 2009 at 15 degree increments for a number of different beams including 600 and 800 MeV/A Si, 180 MeV/A Ne and 100 MeV/A O. Data were also obtained for 400 MeV/A Si and 500 MeV/A Fe along with 290 and 180 MeV/A N. The TimePix chips have been calibrated to achieve the maximum resolution. One of the principal objectives of these data runs was to explore the resolution of TimePix-based Si detectors to discriminate between various ions with different energies and charges, but with similar dE/dx values in Si.
