Abstract:

A new pixel readout chip called Timepix3 is being developed that can be used in a wide
range of applications varying from X-rays imaging to particle track reconstruction. The
Timepix3 will be suitable for readout of both semiconductor detectors and gas-filled
detectors.
Depending on the application requirements user can choose one out of three data
acquisition modes available in the Timepix3. In the most advanced mode both arrival
time information and charge deposit information will be delivered for each hit together
with the coordinates of the active pixel. The chosen architecture allows for continuous
and trigger-free readout of sparsely distributed data with the rate up to 20Mhits•cm-2
•sec-1. For imaging applications and for calibrations the possibility exists of operating in
frame-based (non-continuous) data readout mode.
The Timepix3 chip is planned for production in the beginning of 2012.
