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.
Documentation of the Timepix
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.
Pixetpro Documentation
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.

ADMIRA Project: Activities with Medipix Detectors to Research Radiation in the Classroom
The ADMIRA Project (Activities with Medipix Detectors to Investigate Radiation in the classroom) aims to create a network of schools around the use of Timepix Detectors designed at CERN. The objective is to bring the Institutes closer to the research done in Universities and Research Centers. A group of schools that have participated in a selection process will use these devices in their classrooms. Teacher training activities will be open to any institute teacher who is interested (with the aim of expanding the network in future editions).
On this website you can consult the objectives of the ADMIRA project, the ways of participating and the activities offered for teachers and students. You can also find the didactic orientations, skills and key contents that are intended to work.
