Outreach Material
Here you will find documents with information about Timepix, the manual of the PixetPro program and a small introduction to the nuclear physics, among others. They are complementary materials to start working with your students.
This document introduces the operation and the main features of the MiniPix detector, one of the implementations made of the TimePix 2 detector. After a brief introduction to the detector and CERN, the hybrid pixel technology of the sensor and the electronics that process the signal is explained. Finally there is a brief introduction to the PixetPro software, made to the acquisition of data with the detector, and an explanation of the trace shown by the program of the different particles detected in TimePix.
The MiniPix detector is configured, operated and visualized using a program called Pixet Pro. This document explains the main features of the software in its 1.4.1.704 version.
On the 13th of September a group of secondary school teachers, students and scientists from the University of Barcelona and CERN gathered for a workshop to inaugurate the academic year 2024-2025 of the ADMIRA initiative. The ADMIRA initiative is an activity with the objective to bring state of the art hybrid pixel detectors developed by the Medipix collaborations to secondary school classes.
Two projects with the participation of members of the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) have been awarded at the IX Outreach Contest of the CPAN (National Center for Particle, Astroparticle and Nuclear Physics).
