Construction and characterization of a seven-chip GridPix X-ray detector for solar axion searches
Klaus Desch, Jochen Kaminski, Christoph Krieger +2
In the scope of solar axion searches, detectors which are able to measure low energetic X-rays with high efficiency are required. For this purpose a detector based on the GridPix t…
Performance of the new RD51 VMM3a/SRS beam telescope---studying MPGDs simultaneously in energy, space and time at high rates
L. Scharenberg, J. Bortfeldt, F. Brunbauer +14
The RD51 collaboration maintains a common infrastructure at CERN for its R & D activities, including two beam telescopes for test beam campaigns. Recently, one of the beam telescop…
Particle Physics Readout Electronics and Novel Detector Technologies for Neutron Science
Thomas Block, Markus Gruber, Saime Gurbuz +6
Traditional thermal neutron detectors are based on Helium-3 as conversion and detection material due to its large neutron cross-section. In light of the upgrade and construction of…
An automated testing system for the RD51 VMM hybrid and yield measurement of the first production batches
Finn Jaekel, Klaus Desch, Jochen Kaminski +3
We present the development of an automated testing system for the VMM hybrid of the RD51 collaboration. The VMM hybrid is a new front-end board for the RD51 common readout system,…
Recoil imaging for directional detection of dark matter, neutrinos, and physics beyond the Standard Model
C. A. J. O'Hare, D. Loomba, K. Altenmüller +164
Recoil imaging entails the detection of spatially resolved ionization tracks generated by particle interactions. This is a highly sought-after capability in many classes of detecto…
Rate-capability of the VMM3a Front End in the RD51 Scalable Readout System
D. Pfeiffer, L. Scharenberg, P. Schwäbig +20
The VMM3a is an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), specifically developed for the readout of gaseous detectors. Originally developed within the ATLAS New Small Wheel (…
Conceptual Design of BabyIAXO, the intermediate stage towards the International Axion Observatory
A. Abeln, K. Altenmüller, S. Arguedas Cuendis +123
This article describes BabyIAXO, an intermediate experimental stage of the International Axion Observatory (IAXO), proposed to be sited at DESY. IAXO is a large-scale axion heliosc…
Performance of the GridPix detector quad
Cornelis Ligtenberg, Yevgen Bilevych, Klaus Desch +10
A gaseous pixel readout module with four GridPix chips, called the quad, has been developed as a building block for a large time projection chamber readout plane. The quad module h…
