AbstraktAbstract
In particle physics experiments, hybrid pixel detectors are an integral part of the tracking systems closest to the interaction points, where their good spatial resolution and high radiation resilience are used for particle tracking using the method of “connecting the dots” seen in layers of an onion-like structure. In the context of the Medipix Collaborations a novel, complimentary approach to particle detection has been proposed relying on analysis of imprints seen in the pixel matrix (tracks) with a rich set of features. These are exploited for the identification of impinging particles, precise particle trajectory or reaction kinematics reconstruction. I will describe, how this capability is utilized within the largest scale experiments at the LHC, in sophisticated instrumentation for space science, but mainly how this enables fundamental-science reach with uncomplicated setups.
