AbstraktAbstract

Detectors of the Medipix/Timepix family are hybrid pixel detectors developed by the Medipix collaboration(s) hosted at CERN. They consist of a sensor layer divided into a square matrix of 65,536 pixels with a pixel pitch of 55\,$\mu$m. In each of the pixels, the number of interactions, the deposited energy, and/or the time of arrival can be measured. In the presented thesis, the capabilities of Timepix and Timepix3 were evaluated for different applications profiting from the pixelation and/or the time-resolution. A dedicated methodology was developed for detector use in specific physics experiments.
