AbstraktAbstract
In this work we describe the ongoing construction of a Time Projection Chamber-based (TPC) spectrometer for light charged particles utilising magnetic field as a means for energy measurement, combining Multi Wire Proportional Chambers (MWPC) with Timepix3 pixel detectors for improved spatial and angular resolution. The spectrometer will be operated at the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics (IEAP) Van-de-Graaff facility with the goal of verifying the so-called ATOMKI anomaly (deviation in the distribution of the opening angle between electrons and positrons originating in internal pair creations – IPC – in the decay of 8Be and 4He excited nuclei). Description of the detectors is provided along with a few results.
