ATLAS-Medipix project

Goal of the
ATLAS-Medipix project
is to map the neutron radiation field in the
ATLAS detector during the measurement. Therefore an network of 14
Medipix2 devices controlled by the
USB interface
is being installed in the various positions of the ATLAS detector. The performance of
ATLAS shielding will be checked as well.
Each Medipix2 detector is assembled by two neutron converters:
- PE foil for conversion of fast neutrons
- LiF layer for conversion of thermal neutrons
All 14 devices are controlled remotely by the
Pixelman software.
