Abstract
Abstract
The introduction of the new hybrid pixel detector Timepix2, as a successor to the well-known Timepix detector, has presented new opportunities for optimizing and characterizing this novel device. In this paper, we study the Timepix2 detector optimization and analyze its behavior, which enables better parameter setting for specific applications, resulting in enhanced device performance. Our newly developed equalization process, in conjunction with the device optimization, has led to significant improvements in the detector's accuracy and performance, facilitating more precise data collection and analysis. These advancements pave the way for the broader utilization of Timepix2 in numerous applications, such as space weather monitoring, X-ray diffraction, etc. Overall, our study provides valuable insights into the optimization and characterization of Timepix2, highlighting its potential as a powerful tool in various scientific, industrial and space applications.
