AbstraktAbstract

Four hybrid pixel detectors of Timepix3 technology, installed in the ATLAS experiment, were continuously taking data from April 2018 until the end of the Run-2 data taking period (December 2019). These detectors are synchronized with each other and the LHC orbit clock. They are capable of resolving the bunch structure of the LHC beams due to their time resolution of ~2 ns. Thus, they allow the characterization of the radiation field inside and outside bunch-crossing periods. This is shown for Timepix3 detectors at the extended barrel (x=-3.58 m, y=0.97 m, z=2.83 m). We apply pattern recognition methods to decompose the radiation field and determine the directionality of the minimum ionizing particles (MIP) component of the radiation field.
