A USB 3.0 readout system for Timepix3 detectors with on-board processing capabilities

Abstract: Timepix3 is a high-speed hybrid pixel detector consisting of a 256x256 pixel matrix with a maximum data rate of up to 5.12 Gbps (80 MHit/s). The ASIC is equipped with eight data channels that are data driven and zero suppressed making it suitable for particle tracking and spectral imaging.In this paper, we present a USB 3.0-based programmable readout system with online preprocessing capabilities. USB 3.0 is present on all modern computers and can, under real-world conditions, achieve around 320 MB/s, which all… Show more

“…In conventional flat field correction, projection images without sample are acquired with and without radiation, which are referred to as flat fields (F) and dark fields (D). In this case, the dark field is not required since Timepix3 is a threshold-based detector that does not record any counts below threshold [34]. Thus, a flat-field image of a Cu plate was obtained and implemented.…”

“…The hybrid pixel detectors emerged from the technology developed for high-energy physics experiments, which can be considered as an assembly of thousands of independent point detectors. The Timepix3, a hybrid pixel detector developed by the Medipix3 group at CERN [24] [25], is a general-purpose integrated circuit suitable for readout of both semiconductor detectors and gas-filled detectors. Unlike in a CCD detector where all pixels share one charge-to-voltage convertor, in a hybrid pixel detector, each pixel has its individual sensitive amplifier, resulting in a fast charge digitization.…”
